Or Zuk's HomePage

New! Since fall 2013, I am a faculty member at the Department of Statistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
I'm looking for graduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) students and post-docs - please email me if you're interested.

Last year, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago.
Previously, I was a post-doc at the Broad Institute, at Eric Lander's lab.
Before that, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute , supervised by Eytan Domany.
Even before that, I completed my M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics at the Technion, supervised by Shay Gueron.

I work mainly on statistical and algorithmic problems arising from genomics applications. My current research interests are mostly in Comparative Genomics, Evolution and Statistical and Human Genetics.
On the more mathematical side I am interested in Probabilistic Graphical Models, Multiple Comparisons, and theory and applications of Sparse Signal Representations and Compressed Sensing.

My Erdos number is 3. My Bacon number is ∞. I don't eat Bacon .
