Research

My main interest is in communication systems and coding theory in distributed frameworks.
In particular, I'm mostly interested in coding for  interactive communication systems:

  • Interactive Coding for two-party protocols: rate, noise-resilience and efficiency
  • Interactive Coding over various types of channels: erasure channels, feedback channels, channels with insertions and deletions
  • Adaptive interactive coding protocols
  • Privacy vs. Error Correction in the interactive setting
  • Multiparty interactive coding protocols:
    • rate vs. topology
    • coding for distributed systems

Other than interactive coding and distributed computation, my research involves questions in blockchain technologies and crypto-currencies, data-streams, cryptography, and quantum cryptography.
