I am now a research scientist at Google DeepMind.
Before that I was a postdoctoral associate with Prof. Bill Freeman at CSAIL in MIT.
I completed my PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of Prof. Yair Weiss.
I am mostly interested in problems of low and mid-level computer vision, natural image statistics, machine learning and human perception.
