I'm a 5th year PhD candidate, part of Ittay Eyal's group at the Technion, Israel. I'm also a member of the Technion Hiroshi Fujiwara Cyber Security Research Center and the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Contracts.
My research focuses on security of incentive-based blockchain systems. Previous projects included identifying and analyzing attacks when transaction fees comprise a substantial part of the mining reward; realizing bribe attacks on the HTLC smart-contract, and proposing a provably-secure and incentive-compatible fix; extending the blockchain design space by introducing tunable proof-of-work, reducing system wastefulness; and, constructing a contract for future transaction reservation.
I am currently teaching Principles and Tools in Computer Security for the third time, a relatively-new course that I co-authored. I was honored to be recognized as a distinguished teaching assistant for four times.
