About

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Tel Aviv University, where I am advised by Prof. Michal Feldman.

My research lies at the intersection of Economics and Computer Science (commonly known as EconCS or Algorithmic Game Theory), with a focus on algorithmic contract design and fair division.

You can find my CV here (updated February 2026).
