About
I am an R2 researcher with the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies (FIAS). Currently, I am a member of Dr Gemma Roig's Computational Vision & AI lab, I am also affiliated with Dr Radoslaw Cichy's Neural Dynamics of Visual Cognition lab.
Previously I completed a dual Ph.D in Computer Science under Dr Mohammad Ghassemi, and Cognitive Neuroscience under Dr Taosheng Liu. I earned Bachelors in both Computer Science and Mathematics from the "Technion - Institute of Technology" and subsequently worked as a VLSI engineer at Apple Inc. before becoming a Fulbright grantee in MSU.
My main areas of interest are neural representations, computational linguistics, and cultural informatics. My PhD thesis focused on utilizing electroencephalography in conjunction with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to investigate how attention modulates sensory representations.
I spend the little free time I have learning to play various instruments to various degrees of success.
