I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at MIT-EECS, advised by Prof. Ashia Wilson.
My academic journey began with a B.Sc. degree in EE from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, followed by an M.Sc. degree in EE from Tel-Aviv University, where I had the privilege of being advised by Professor Anatoly Khina.
My research interests lie at the intersection of information theory, machine learning, differential privacy, signal processing, and wireless communications. More broadly, I aim to address pressing real-world challenges by developing engineering solutions grounded in fundamental mathematical principles.
I am married to Shiran and the father of our beautiful puppy, Willow.
