I am an applied mathematician working on problems of statistical data analysis, structural biology, molecular biophysics, and statistical physics.

My main training is in stochastic processes and applied harmonic analysis.

I received my PhD in Applied Mathematics in June 2005 from Tel-Aviv University.

Dissertation: ``Diffusion Theory of Ion Permeation through Protein Channels of Biological Membranes''.

Thesis adviser: Zeev Schuss.


I am currently working with Ronald Coifman on the mathematical organization of high dimensional data.

I collaborate with Ronald Coifman and Yoel Shkolnisky (Yale Applied Math), and with Fred Sigworth (Yale Medical School) on cryo-electron microscopy for the determination of the structure of complicated biological proteins. We have developed an extremely efficient solution to the cryo-EM problem, which is also applicable to the distance geometry problem in NMR spectroscopy, localization of sensor networks, numerical integration, and other technologies.
