asharov (at) cornell.eduBrief Biography and Research Interest
I recently joined Cornell Tech as a post-doctoral researcher, hosted by Prof. Rafael Pass.
I am a Simons Junior Fellow, as part of the Simons Society of Fellows.
Research Interest:
My research interest is in the field of cryptography. I focus on secure multiparty computation, ranging from its theoretical foundations to real-world applications. I am also interested in some other cryptographic primitives and their interplay (e.g., obfuscation, functional encryption, oblivious RAM, etc.).
Short Bio:
In 2016, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Cryptography Group, IBM TJ Watson Research Center.
In 2015, I was a post-doctoral researcher in the The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, hosted by Prof. Gil Segev. I was supported by the Israeli Center of Research Excellence (I-CORE) Program, as an I-CORE postdoc fellow.
I finished my PhD in 2015, in the cryptography research group, Bar-Ilan university, where I was fortunate to have Prof. Yehuda Lindell as my advisor.
I spent Summer 2011 as an intern at the Cryptography Group at IBM TJ Watson Research Center.
