About Me
I am part of the Ph.D. direct track program in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Ben-Gurion univerisity of the Negev, Israel. I received a B.Sc (with honors) from the same institute in 2017. I am expected to be graduated by the end of the year (September 2023).
My main research field is information theory. Throughout my Ph.D. I developed data driven algorithms to compute fundamental limits in information theory. For this purpose I developed and applied algorithms from the fields of stochastic control and reinforcement learning.
