About Me

Hey, my name is Tomer

I am a Ph.D. Student for Computer Science, studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Statistics and Economy, and a Master’s degree in Statistics. I’m probably the only CS student who doesn’t know how to code in Python, but I know R, and I love it.

P.h.D research

My research lies at the intersection of differential privacy and statistics, focusing on adapting classical statistical procedures to the constraints of differential privacy. This includes developing private methods for non-parametric confidence intervals based on resampling procedures, ratio estimation (odds ratio, relative risk) with associated confidence intervals, and CDF estimation. Adding noise to things is my guilty pleasure. My PhD advisors are Katrina Ligett (CS department) and Yosef Rinott (Statistics department).

Other Research Interests

I’m also a Research Assistant of Prof. Gil Kalai at at the Reichman University, Herzliya, where I work on statistical aspects of experimenting with quantum computers, and mainly on the Google supremacy claim made in 2019. We have a line of papers- you are welcome to check them out on my publications page.
