About

I am a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science at Reichman University. I completed my PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2017 under the supervision of Andrea Goldsmith. Between 2017-2021 I was a postdoctoral research scholar and a lecturer at the Department of Statistics at Stanford University, advised by David Donoho.

My research is in the areas of mathematical statistics and information theory. I focus on developing methods for signal detection and classification in high-dimensions when data is noisy and scarce. My work usually combines theoretic derivation with ambitious simulation and data science projects.

I have held several industry positions alongside academia. Since 2020 I am the Head of AI at SenseIP. In 2017, I helped co-found Tarseir Systems after taking part in the first ever iteration of the Hacking for Defence class at Stanford. I was also a research intern at Huawei in the summer of 2015 and an algorithm developer at Sandisk (now part of Western Digital) between 2011-2012.
