He earned his doctorate from the University of Toronto in 2008, under the supervision of Stephen Cook. After this, he did post-doctoral research at Microsoft Research and then joined the faculty at University of Toronto. In 2011, he joined the Princeton University department of computer science.[6] In 2014, he was an Invited Speaker with talk Interactive information and coding theory at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul.[7]
Braverman is the son of mathematician Elena Braverman[8] and, through her, the grandson of his co-author, mathematical statistician Yan Petrovich Lumel'skii.[9]
