Biography

Omri Amiraz received his PhD in Linguistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, specializing in formal semantics, linguistic typology, and historical linguistics. As a Chateaubriand Fellow, he spent three months at the Institut Jean Nicod in Paris, working with Prof. Benjamin Spector on the semantics of quantification and part–whole structure. Their collaboration resulted in a journal publication and also opened new research directions on semantic universals, which remain a central focus of his research. The fellowship provided an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers at the Institut Jean Nicod and to establish long-term international collaborations.

Biography

Ezra is a lecturer at Afeka College of Engineering in Tel Aviv.  His field of research is analytic number theory, and his main research interest concerns the statistical distribution of prime numbers as well as their analogues over function fields.  Although his work is rooted in pure mathematics, his research interests also naturally intersect with several areas of application, including quantum cryptography and linear feedback shift registers.  As part of a Chateaubriand Fellowship, he spent six months in Calais, France, working with Dr. Lucile Devin on a project related to the low-lying zeros across families of L-functions.  He also gave several academic talks at conferences and seminars throughout France and across Europe.
