Oded Regev

Oded Regev is a Silver Professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He has previously held positions at Tel Aviv University and École Normale Supérieure, Paris (CNRS). His research spans theoretical computer science, cryptography, quantum computation, and machine learning applications in biological discovery.

• Education: PhD in Computer Science, Tel Aviv University (2001)

Regev is renowned for his work in lattice-based cryptography, including the introduction of the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem and Gaussian measures. He also leads research using interpretable machine learning to decode RNA splicing logic and nuclear speckle dynamics, with implications in disease and therapeutics. His recent articles focus on quantum factoring, RNA localization, and geometric lattice bounds.
