Recently, I'm interested in: dynamic (reconfigurable) distributed storage, cloud storage, local computing and dynamic networks, multi-cores (CMP), transactional memory and concurrent data structures, and replication and coordination. Here are some selected recent results on these topics:

  My Ph.D. advisor was Danny Dolev, and according to the Mathematics Genealogy Project, my academic lineage includes Jacob Bernoulli, Euler, Lagrange, Laplace, and Poisson.

  Other than research, teaching, and my graduate students, there are some other professional activities that keep me busy these days:

  • DISC 2013 in Jerusalem
  • SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column
  • The Networked Software Systems Laboratory at the Technion.

  Finally, here are links to my full publications list (sorted by year) and CV.
