I am spending the 2025-26 academic year as an associate research scientist (postdoc) at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Yale, where I am hosted by Boris Landa.
Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Statistics, Stanford, where my stay was sponsored by David Donoho. Even before that, I was a PhD student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I was advised by Or Ordentlich and Matan Gavish. Much, much before that, dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Research interests: Information theory and signal processing, high-dimensional statistics, mathematics of data science.
