I am a Senior Lecturer
in the Statistics department at Tel Aviv University., since October 2007.
Prior to that, I graduated with a Ph.D. in Statistics
from
Stanford University in summer 2003, where I worked with Jerry Friedman
and Trevor
Hastie.
My thesis: Topics in Regularization and Boosting.
I spent four years at IBM Research, in the DAR group.
My research interests are in Statistical Genetics,
Statistical Learning theory and applications and Data Mining.
