I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on the fundamentals of machine learning, optimization and generalization.
I am currently at EPFL (hosted by Prof. Nicolas Flammarion), and I am an incoming member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science & Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ohad Shamir. During my doctoral studies I held student research positions at Apple Machine Learner Research (worked with Vitaly Feldman and Kunal Talwar) and Google Research (worked with Manfred Warmuth).
In somewhat of a past life, I studied guitar at the Center for Jazz Studies in the Israel Conservatory of Music, was supported by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation and played in several musical groups. I'm still enthusiastic about music.
