My main interest is in fault tolerance within distributed computing.
In the last decade or so my research focused on coding for interactive communication systems:
- Interactive Coding for two-party protocols (rate, noise-resilience, efficiency)
- Interactive Coding over various types of channels (erasure channels, feedback channels, channels with insertions and deletions
- Multiparty interactive coding protocols (rate vs. topology, broadcast channels, efficiency, noise-resilience per noise type)
In the last few years I have also been interested in classical topics in distributed computing and models that incorporate faults (of various types) in distributed frameworks. In particualr,
- Distributed Computing with faulty transmissions (adversarial links, content-oblivious computation)
- Fault-tolerance in various distributed computing models (crashes, Byzantine nodes, noisy beeping models, noisy Ameobot model)
- Incorporating Cryptography and Distributed Computing
- Incorporating Coding Theory and Distributed Computing
Other than interactive coding and distributed computation, my research involved questions in blockchain technologies and crypto-currencies, data-streams, sorting algorithms, cryptography, and quantum cryptography.
