I am a Professor at the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where I also hold a courtesy appointment at the  Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My research focuses on information and coding theory, with applications to non-volatile memories, private information retrieval, data storage and retrieval, voting theory, and DNA-based data storage systems, and I am the head of the DNA Storage Lab.

I received my B.A. degrees (Summa cum Laude) in Computer Science and Mathematics and my M.Sc. (Summa cum Laude) in Computer Science from the Technion. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, where my thesis focused on coding for flash memories. I then held postdoctoral positions at the California Institute of Technology and UC San Diego. From 2023 to 2025, I also served as a Visiting Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University.

I have been fortunate to receive several recognitions for my work, including the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for “Coding for DNA Storage” (2022–2027). Additional honors include membership in the Israeli Young Academy (2024), the Morton and Beverley Rechler Prize for Excellence in Research (2024), the Henry Taub Prize for Academic Excellence (2020), the Hans Fischer Fellowship at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (2019), the Intel Ph.D. Fellowship, and the Marconi Society Young Scholar Award. I have also received multiple best paper and memorable paper awards, as well as several Technion Excellence Teaching Awards. Since 2022, I am head of the Technion-Decart Excellence Program.

My research group works at the intersection of theory and emerging storage technologies, particularly DNA-based data storage. In recent years, I have led large international collaborations supported by the ERC, NSF, ISF, Horizon Europe, and other competitive funding programs.

Beyond research, I have served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (2020–2023) and, since 2025, for IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications. I have also chaired and organized numerous international workshops and conferences in information theory and data storage.

I am deeply committed to mentoring students and advancing both theoretical foundations and practical solutions for next-generation storage systems.
