About me

I'm a PhD student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, studying at the PhD program of ELSC Center for Brain Sciences. I finished my MSc degree at the faculty of physics, where I made a research in the field of solid state physics.

In my research I study models of information processing in the human brain, while trying to validate these in EEG experiments.

My PhD advisors are Prof. Naftali Tishby from the Hebrew University and Dr. Oren Shriki from Ben-Gurion University.
