He earned in 1993 a BA degree in mathematics from the University of Tel Aviv, where in 1998 he received a Ph.D. (Kazhdan-Laumon Representations of Finite Chevalley Groups, Character Sheaves and Some Generalization of the Lefschetz-Verdier Trace Formula) under supervision of Joseph Bernstein.
Moore instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in 2004 Benjamin Peirce Lecturer at Harvard University.
He is a full professor at University of Toronto since 2015 and an associate faculty member at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
[citation needed] Braverman specializes in the geometric Langlands program, the intersection of number theory, algebraic geometry and representation theory, which also has applications to mathematical physics.
[citation needed] In 2006 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid (Spaces of quasi-maps into the flag varieties and their applications).
