Assistant Professor @istecnico. Previously @FCTNOVA @CSDatCMU @imperialcollege @CSatETH. I like codes and (pseudo)randomness.
Amazing result: 3 query linear locally correctable codes require exponential length Previous best lower bound was polynomial length, huge improvement! eccc.weizmann.ac.il/report/2023/16…
I'm looking to hire one or two Ph.D. students for Fall '24 to work on problems related to lattices, error-correcting codes, and theoretical CS more broadly. If you're interested, please apply to Colorado *this fall*! Deadline: 12/15/2023, link: colorado.edu/cs/admissions/… 2/
Thank you @GuggFellows for selecting me as a Guggenheim Fellow. The honor goes to my research team and collaborators. @caltech #guggfellows2023 gf.org/announcements/

אחד העצורים במחאה נגד המהפכה המשפטית בירושלים הוא פרופ' עמית דניאלי, חבר סגל באוניברסיטה העברית ופרופ' למדעי המחשב. במשטרה טוענים שנעצר על תקיפת שוטרים. זה התיעוד: לקול קריאות "איפה הייתם בחווארה?" שוטרי יס"מ מתנפלים על פרופ' דניאלי ומכניסים אותו לניידת תוך שניות בודדות מ"התקיפה"

An update: generally stoked (e grato) to be starting as an Assistant Professor within the Informatics Department at @FCTNOVA this week. I've spent some years as a researcher in industry, and the allure of returning to the academy eventually became too strong. So, aqui estou!
Concluding day of a fantastic theory (and as usual with Israel, food) fest at Tel Aviv University. I'm told that the videos of all talks are imminent. ;-)
