Research Description

Avishay Tal has been a member of Berkeley's Theory Group since 2019. He received his Ph.D. in 2015 from the Weizmann Institute of Science under the guidance of Ran Raz. Afterwards, he held postdoctoral appointments at the Institute for Advanced Study (2015-2017, hosted by Avi Wigderson), the Simons Institute (Fall 2018), and Stanford University (2017-2019, hosted by Omer Reingold).

His research interests include computational complexity theory, analysis of Boolean functions, quantum computing, circuit complexity, pseudorandomness, and learning theory.
