Bio

Currently, I work as an algorithm researcher in Rudich's Lab at the Weizmann Institute, specializing in computer vision and remote sensing. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Kingston University London (2021) under Professor Jean-Christophe Nebel's supervision.

Prior to that, I completed my M.Sc. in Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science (2013), where I worked with Professor Ronen Basri. My academic foundation began at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2011), where I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science.

During my time at Intel and Applied Materials, I gained valuable industry experience in technology development and implementation, which motivated me to pursue an MBA from The Open University of Israel (2024).
