welcome!

I'm a fourth-year graduate student of Computer Science at UC Berkeley. I am part of the SKETCH project and work on synthesis of unbounded computations using abstraction and symbolic proofs. My advisor is Prof. Ras Bodik. My interests also include static analysis and verficiation (in particular shape analysis using 3-valued logic), software engineering, and algorithm design.

Before coming to Berkeley, I completed my masters at Tel-Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Mooly Sagiv. It was then that I developed interest in heap analysis and abstract interpretation.

For a few years I was a full-time software engineer at Terayon Communication Systems (previously ComBox, currently Motorola) where I wrote networking and real-time code for a variety of embedded router platforms. While working on IP routing in Linux, I became involved with open-source routing software and contributed to the Quagga project, an actively maintained fork of the popular GNU Zebra.

In the course of previous occupations I operated a sniper rifle, a heavy mortar, and a few similar instruments. I've since shifted towards more peaceful activities.

I love music. I played piano and elecronic keyboards for many years, and I'm an obsessive listener to various genres including jazz, R&B, classic rock, progressive, folk, and others.

In recent years I (re)discovered long distance running, with emphasis on development of a correct running form and technique. I also love basketball and play it regularly.

I grew up in Petah Tikva, Israel. This is a gray and generally uninspiring city not far from Tel-Aviv. Still, it is my hometown.
