Talya Eden
Assistant prof., Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Talya Eden is an Assistant Professor at the computer science department at Bar Ilan University. She works on sublinear-time and randomized graph algorithms for huge data sets. Her work focuses on theoretical and applied graph parameter estimation in sublinear-time, as well as graph algorithms in other related areas, such as the streaming model, the massively parallel computation model, and learning-augmented algorithms.
Talya completed her PhD at the School of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Dana Ron, and then continued on to a postdoctoral fellowship with the Foundations of Data Science Institute at MIT and the Computer Science department at Boston University, where she was hosted by Prof. Ronitt Rubinfeld, Prof. Pioter Indyk, and Prof. Sofya Raskhodnikova.
Talya has won several awards for her work, including the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Award in Theoretical Computer Science, a Rothschild Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Schmidt Postdoctoral Award, a Ben Gurion University postdoctoral fellowship, a Weinstein Graduate Studies Prize, and the Azrieli Fellows Scholarship.
