The story of Dana Moshkovitz's life
Dana Moshkovitz earned her Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2008. Her advisor was Ran Raz. Her dissertation dealt with two query probabilistic checking of proofs with subconstant error, and it won the Haim Nessyahu Prize of the Israel Mathematical Union in 2009.
She then did postdoctoral research at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. Later she joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2016 she moved to the University of Texas at Austin as an associate professor.
Her research covers probabilistically checkable proofs, pseudorandomness and approximation algorithms. She is married to the American computer scientist Scott Aaronson.
