Early life and education

Becker was born in Russia and immigrated to Israel at 16 after graduating from a school in Moscow. At 17, she began her studies at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. During her master's degree in computer science, she taught first-year students of the same course, and at 27, Becker completed her PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.^[3][4]

Career

While pursuing her PhD, Becker resolved an NP-complete approximation algorithm that had been unresolved for over twenty years. This made her a recognized scholar in the field. After completing her PhD, she developed an approximation technique by a factor of two. This technique is widely used today in operating systems, database systems, and VLSI chip designs.^[5][6]

She then founded and sold Strategy Runner, a fintech software.^[7] After this, she founded EndoTech, an algorithmic trading platform based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.^[8][9] As of 2023, Becker is working on Fianchetto Fund, an AI-based investing analysis platform.^[10]

Becker has also co-authored a book on Bayesian networks, which has been published widely in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence.^[11]
