My name is Soli (Solomon) Vishkautsan, and since October 2017 I am a lecturer at Tel-Hai Academic College, Israel.

I am attached to the Mathematics Unit, which is part of the Department of Computer Science.

My main topic of research Arithmetic Dynamics, which is a savory blend of number theory, arithmetic/diophantine geometry and dynamical systems.

I was previously a postdoctoral fellow at:

• The University of Bayreuth, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Stoll, supported by a fellowship from the Minerva foundation.
• The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, under the supervision of Prof. Umberto Zannier, as part of the ERC-Advanced Grant “Diophantine problems”.
• In Ben-Gurion University,  under Dmitry Kerner and Ilya Tyomkin.

I received my PhD in mathematics from Bar-Ilan University in June 2013. My PhD supervisors were Prof. Boris Kunyavskii and Prof. Tatiana Bandman.
