About Me

I am an assistant professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Ben-Gurion University.

I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Technion between 2017 and 2019, and between 2019 and 2020 I was a postdoctoral researcher at Weizmann Institute of Science, working with Professor Yonina C. Eldar. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Ben-Gurion University in 2017, under the supervision of Professor Ron Dabora. Prior to that I received my B.Sc. degree and my M.Sc. degree in 2011 and 2013, respectively, from Ben-Gurion University, all in Electrical Engineering.

From 2009 to 2013 I worked as an engineer at Yitran Communications.

My detailed CV can be found here.
