Dr. Mor Weiss

Assistant Professor

I am an Assistant Professor at The Alexander Kofkin Faculty of Engineering at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. My research is in the field of cryptography, but I have a broad interest in theoretical computer science and its interplay with cryptography. My work focuses on the theoretical foundations of cryptography, cryptographic proof systems, and cryptographic protocols for modern computing systems. I received my PhD in computer science at the Technion, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Professor Yuval Ishai. I then spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at NEU, hosted by Professor Daniel Wichs, following which I spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the FACT center at IDC Herzliya, hosted by Professor Alon Rosen and Associate Professor Elette Boyle, before joining the Engineering Faculty at Bar-Ilan University.
