Dr. Jhonatan Tavori was awarded a Fulbright postdoctoral fellowship to pursue his research on edge-cloud management under worst-case attack scenarios.

Jhonatan pursued his PhD, titled “Network Operation Under Malicious Behavior”, under the supervision of Professor Hanoch Levy at Tel Aviv University (TAU). Jhonatan explored various problems, including characterizing worst-case attacks on cloud networks, optimizing the control of viral spreading, investigating financial vulnerabilities in microservices architectures, and designing edge computing that processes real-time traffic and data.

For his PhD studies, Jhonatan was awarded The Blavatnik Prize for Outstanding Israeli Doctoral Graduates in Computer Science.

Jhonatan holds a B.Sc. in computer science (Summa Cum Laude) from the Open University of Israel, and an M.Sc. in computer science (Magna Cum Lauded) from TAU. He was selected as the valedictorian in both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. During his graduate studies, Jhonatan was awarded several distinctions, including the EU NGI Enrichers fellowship, TAU ‘100 list’ for teaching, an innovation scholarship for smart transportation research, the Deutsch Prize for PhD students, excellence academic achievements prize and stipend, and the school’s Outstanding Teaching Assistant award.
