I am an Associate
Professor in the Statistics department at Tel Aviv University, which I
joined in 2007.
Prior to that, I graduated with a Ph.D. in Statistics
from Stanford University in summer 2003,
where I worked with Jerry Friedman and Trevor
Hastie.
My thesis: Topics in Regularization and Boosting.
I spent four years at IBM
Research, in the DAR group.
My research interests are in Statistical Genetics,
Statistical Learning theory and applications and
Data Mining.
