Shai Halevi (Hebrew: שי הלוי; born 1966) is a computer scientist who works in the cryptography research group at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center.

Born in Israel in 1966, Halevi received him B.A. and M.Sc. in computer science from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in 1991 and 1993. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT in 1997, and then joined IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where he is a Principal Research Staff Member.

Research

Shai Halevi's research interests are in cryptography and security. He has published numerous original technical research papers,[3][4] three of which were awarded the IBM Pat Goldberg memorial best-paper award[5] (in 2004, 2012, and 2013). Notable contributions by Shai Halevi include:

Since 2013 Halevi is the chair of the steering committee of the Theory of Cryptography Conference. He served on the board of directors of the International Association for Cryptologic Research.[22] He chaired the CRYPTO conference in 2009 and co-chaired the TCC conference in 2006. Halevi also gave many invited talks, including in the USENIX Security Symposium in 2008 and the PKC conference in 2014.

Software

Halevi maintains two open-source software projects: The HElib homomorphic-encryption library,[23] and a web-system for submission/review of articles to academic conferences[24]
