Dr. Boaz Slomka, Senior Lecturer

I am a Senior Lecturer at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science at The Open University of Israel.
My primary research interests lie in Convex Geometry and Asymptotic Geometric Analysis.

Before joining the Open university, I was a Posdoctoral Research fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, and before that, I was a CRM-ISM Posdoctoral Research fellow at the CRM, Montreal.

I received my PhD in 2014 from Tel Aviv University, under the supervision of Prof. Shiri Artstein-Avidan.
