Yonatan Yehezkeally received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel, in 2020. Before that, he received the M.Sc. degree (summa cum laude) in electrical and computer engineering and the B.Sc. degree (cum laude) in mathematics, in 2017 and 2013 respectively, also from Ben-Gurion University.

From Oct. 2020, Yonatan is a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute for Communications Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, TU Munich, Munich, Germany. He is working in the Coding for Communications and Data Storage group (COD, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Antonia Wachter-Zeh). Previously, between July-September 2020, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Ben-Gurion University.

Yonatan has studied rank-modulation codes for Flash memories in his master's thesis, which are Gray codes in the symetric group of finite sets designed to alleviate the read-write imbalance in Flash technology. His doctoral thesis dealt with string-duplication channels, with applications to data storage in DNA (specifically, in vivo DNA data storage). He is interested in coding for DNA data storage in general, including coding over sliced information, and coding for combined noise models (e.g., substitutions and duplications, etc.)

His research interests further include combinatorial structures, algebraic coding and finite group theory.
