I
am the Rajeev Motwani Professor in the
Computer Science Department at Stanford University. I joined
the department in September 1995.
I also have a courtesy appointment in the
Department of Pathology.
I completed my PhD in 1993 at Stanford,
and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Division at UC Berkeley. Before that, I did my masters and
undergraduate degrees at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, Israel.
