Rafael Pass Professor (on leave, 2023-) Department of Computer Science Cornell University and Cornell Tech Ph.D, MIT, 2006 first name at cs.cornell.edu Cornell Tech, 2 W Loop Rd New York, NY 10044 |
Summary
I am a Professor at Cornell Tech.and in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell
University.
I obtained my Ph.D in 2006 in the Theory of Computation group at MIT with Silvio Micali as advisor.
Previously, I completed my Licentiate Thesis (M.S.) under the supervision of Johan Hastad.
My research focuses on Cryptography and its interplay with Computational
Complexity and Game Theory; lately, I have become increasingly interested in
the theoretical foundations of blockchains, and even more recently on
connections between Cryptography and Kolmogorov complexity. My work has been
supported by a NSF Career Award, a Microsoft
Faculty Fellowship, an AFOSR Young Investigator Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship,
a Wallenberg Academy Award, a Google Faculty Award, a JP
Morgan Faculty award, as well as grants from AFOSR, BSF, DARPA and IARPA. I
am an ACM Fellow
and an IACR Fellow.
I am currently on leave at Tel-Aviv University.
