Welcome to my home page !
I am an associate professor and Schmidt Career Advancement Chair in AI, working in the Deparment of Electrical & Copmuter Engineering at the Technion, in the area of machine learning. I am especially interested in all aspects of neural networks and deep learning: see Research for my current research and Background for a more general background.
I am looking for highly motivated and excellent MSc/PhD students and Post-Docs with similar research interests to join our team! (More Info)
Short Bio
I did my post-doc (as a Gruss Lipper fellow) working with Prof. Liam Paninski in the Department of Statistics and the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University.
I did my Ph.D. (2008-2013, direct track) in the Network Biology Research Laboratory in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, under the guidance of Prof. Ron Meir.
In 2008 I graduated summa cum laude with a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and a B.Sc. in Physics, after studying in the Technion since 2004.
