ABOUT

I am a Post-Doctoral researcher with the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies
(FIAS). Currently, I am a member of Gemma Roig's Computational Vision & AI lab,
I am also affiliated with Radoslaw Cichy's Neural Dynamics of Visual Cognition
lab.

Previously I completed a dual Ph.D in Computer Science under Dr Mohammad
Ghassemi, and Cognitive Neuroscience under Dr Taosheng Liu. I earned Bachelors
in both Computer Science and Mathematics from the "Technion - Institute of
Technology" and subsequently worked as a VLSI engineer at Apple Inc. before
becoming a Fulbright grantee in MSU.

My main areas of interest are neural representations, computational linguistics,
and cultural informatics. My PhD thesis focused on utilizing
electroencephalography in conjunction with state-of-the-art machine learning
techniques to investigate how attention modulates sensory representations.

I spend the little free time I have learning to play various instruments to
various degrees of success.
