Orr Paradise

Hi,

🎓 I am a PhD student at the UC Berkeley Theory of Computation group, advised by Shafi Goldwasser and Avishay Tal. Before, I completed my MSc at the Weizmann Institute of Science, advised by Oded Goldreich.

🐳 I do Theoretical Analysis at CETI, a nonprofit listening project for deciphering the communication of sperm whales.

🇯🇲 I’m also Head TA at JamCoders, a free summer camp on algorithms for high schoolers in Kingston, Jamaica.

My pronouns are he/him.
