Aviv Yaish
Bio. I research the intricate relationship between the economics and security of cryptocurrencies. I am currently finishing my PhD at HUJI, where I had the pleasure of being advised by Prof. Aviv Zohar, and will soon start a postdoc at Yale, where I am grateful for being hosted by Prof. Fan Zhang, and co-hosted by Profs. Ben Fisch, Charalampos (Babis) Papamanthou, and Zhong Shao. I am also a visiting researcher at the University of Innsbruck, where I am graciously hosted by Prof. Rainer Böhme. Previously, I was a lecturer at HUJI 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 CBER Best Paper award, the CCS Distinguished Paper award, and was generously supported by Ethereum Foundation grants, an AIANI fellowship, the Ze’ev Jabotinsky fellowship, and HUJI’s rector award for first-in-class MSc students.
