NAP Research Lab

I have a joint research lab with Dr. Zvi Lotker: Networks, Algorithms & Protocols (NAP) research lab a link is here.

Postdoc

I did my (short) postdoc with the wonderful Autonomous Networks Research Group (ANRG) of Prof. Bhaskar Krishnamachari at USC. Thank to Bhaskar this was an inspiring time for me as a researcher and a (soon to be) faculty member.
