Anna Becker is an Israeli researcher known in the field of artificial intelligence and computer science within the financial field.[1]
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.[2][3]
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.[4]
She then founded and sold Strategy Runner, a fintech software.[5] After this, she founded EndoTech, an algorithmic trading platform based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.[6][7] EndoTech's trading strategies have been operating in live cryptocurrency markets since 2017. The platform's BTC Alpha strategy has reported an average annual return of 163% on fixed capital over eight years of live operation, with a maximum drawdown of 14% and a trade accuracy rate of approximately 83%.[8] In 2026, EndoTech entered a partnership with Bit1 Exchange to make its BTC Alpha and ETH Alpha copy trading strategies accessible to retail investors with no minimum deposit requirement, through a full-custody model in which user funds remain in their own exchange wallets at all times.[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]
