Bio

I received my Ph.D. from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel under the guidance of Prof. Daniel Zelazo in the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. My previous education is in theoretical mathematics. I received a B.Sc. (summa cum laude) and an M.Sc (magna cum laude) from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. I was under the supervision of Prof. Uri Bader during my M.Sc.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. I am working with Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson on contract-based design for networked control systems.

I have received the Springer thesis award for my Ph.D. thesis on network optimization methods in passivity-based cooperative control. I also won other international awards during my Ph.D. such as the IEEE Student Travel Award (2017) and the Designs Travel Award (2019). I also received some domestic awards, including the Dvorah and Professor Joseph Shinar Award (2018) and the Dov Shimshon Cohen award (2019); both are annual awards, given to one recipient for excellence in research in the field of aerospace engineering. For my academic accomplishment, I was selected as a part of the 2021 class of Forbes Israel "30 Under 30" list.

I have previously served as a teaching assistant in the following courses:

• Foundations of Integrative Science 1&2 (Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, 320097 and 320098)

  • A research workshop intended for highly-skilled undergrads in the Rothschild scholars program - Technion program for excellence.

  • I mentored and evaluated students’ projects.

• Special minicourse on Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions (University of Wrocław, Poland)

  • A series of lectures given by Prof. Uri Bader on topics in the intersection of geometric group theory, ergodic theory and representation theory.

  • I gave a series of tutorial sessions on the presented topics, ranging from the Haar measure and the projective linear group to algebraic representation theory. You can see the tutorial sessions here.

I have previously served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as an algorithm developer and researcher as well as an engineer, as a part of the mandatory draft in Israel (2015-2020). I have worked on real-time navigation and filtering, focusing on topics like cooperative navigation and GNSS ionospheric error compensation. I have also worked on designing the architecture of the navigation module in multiple projects, integrating hardware and software, and conducting and analyzing experiments.
