Staff Research Scientist, YouTube 

Mountain View, CA

Tech lead for video generation using Gen-AI, primarily, creations for Shorts.

Research Scientist, GCam, Perception, Google Research

Mountain View, CA

Tech lead, manager, and developer of computational photography and computer vision algorithms for the Pixel phone and Google  Photos.

One of my first projects was Night Sight, which creates beautiful photos in low light (Siggraph Asia publication). Later, I worked on developing sky segmentation & optimization for astrophotography and sky palette transfer, and Monocular depth for Bokeh and Cinematic Photos. 

My most notable project in the team has been Magic Eraser (blog post). I was on the core team as co-TL and IC and I continued developing the project with my team for the launch of camouflage, and the G1 launch.

Research assistant, de la Zerda lab 

Stanford School of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, CA

First lab member. Conducting research on molecular imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT). 

The research includes: optical design and implementation, signal processing, image processing and machine learning.

Our Lab was featured on LabTV, here is my clip.

I was featured in Stanford EE Spotlights.

Software Engineering Intern, Apple

Research and development of computational imaging algorithms in the camera software group.

Head teaching assistant, Computational Imaging and Display (EE367/CS448I)

Stanford University, Stanford, CA

I taught a one-hour weekly problem session and worked with the professor (Prof. Gordon Wetzstein) on designing the homework and exam. I still give guest lectures for the class.

Algorithms engineer and team leader 

Paieon medical, Rosh ha'ayin, Israel

Paieon medical offered imaging workstations that are designed to assist in all phases of cardiac navigation procedures, helping interventional cardiologists and radiologists optimize diagnosis and treatment. My position included closely leading a small team of image processing and computer vision engineers while conducting R&D of my own.

Algorithms engineer and project manager 

Tessera (DigitalOptics Corporation), Tel Aviv, Israel

The Tel Aviv offices of Tessera specialized in computational photography algorithms, optical design and image quality evaluation for miniature commercial cameras.

My position included research, design and implementation of computational imaging algorithms and tools for image quality evaluation.

After a year of employment, in addition to being part of the algorithms team, I managed a project which involved working with international customers and collaborating companies.

Officer in the technological unit of the intelligence corps (Rank: Captain)

IDF, Tel Aviv, Israel

Lead a team which was at the center of major multi-disciplinary projects in the field of electro-optics. I was in charge of building and testing complex systems with tight deadlines.

Before becoming a team leader I did R&D in the field of electro-optics.

Before that I worked on embedded software development and system design.

RF design engineer (part time, ~30%)

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., Israel

Design of high frequency microchips (MMIC), simulations of distributed systems (with ADS and AWR) and modeling of MMIC components.

PhD, Electrical Engineering

Stanford University, Stanford, CA

Research: Optical and computational tools for medical imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). More specifically, we are working on creating a contrast agent for OCT and algorithms to detect it, in order to enable molecular imaging with OCT.

Advisor: Dr. Adam de la Zerda
