Ofir Gorodetsky Since October 2020, I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Analytic Number Theory at the University of Oxford, employed by Prof. James Maynard's 'PRIMES' ERC grant. Starting Fall 2024, I will be an assistant professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Please feel welcome to ask me about math.
