Aviv Yaish
Bio. I research the intricate relationship between the economics and security of cryptocurrencies. I am currently a PhD candidate at HUJI, and a visiting researcher at the University of Innsbruck, funded by an AIANI visiting researcher fellowship. Previously, I was the sole lecturer at HUJI for two courses, and received an award for my teaching. Among other honors, I was named one of the top PhD graduates of 23-24 by the CBER Forum, received the CCS Distinguished Paper Award, and was generously supported by an Ethereum Foundation grant, the 4 year merit-based Ze’ev Jabotinsky PhD Fellowship, and HUJI’s rector award for first-in-class MSc students.
If you want to collaborate or discuss my research interests, feel free to get in touch. This includes bright undergrads looking for a tutorial work mentor.
