About me

I am an assistant professor in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and of Computer Science at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology. Before that, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Statistics at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Emmanuel Candès. I earned my Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in 2017 from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Elad. Prior to that, in 2012, I received my B.Sc. from the same department. 

In 2017, I constructed with Prof. Elad a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the theory and practice of sparse representations, under the edX platform.

I am a recipient of the 2015 Zeff Fellowship, the 2017 Andrew and Erna Finci Viterbi Fellowship, the 2017 Irwin and Joan Jacobs Fellowship, the 2018–2020 Zuckerman Postdoctoral Fellowship, the 2018–2020 ISEF Postdoctoral Fellowship, the 2018–2020 Viterbi Fellowship for nurturing future faculty members, Technion, the 2019–2020 Koret Postdoctoral Scholarship, Stanford University, and the 2021-2022 Leaders in Science and Technology Career Advancement Chair (CAC), Technion. I was awarded the 2020 SIAG/IS Early Career Prize, the 2020 Sheila Samson Prime Minister’s Prize for Global Innovation in Smart Mobility and Alternative Fuels for Transportation, and the 2021 IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award. I recently received the prestigious 2021-2022 Alon scholarship. In 2023, I received two Technion's Excellence in Teaching Awards for the courses Machine Learning (ECE) and Numerical Algorithms (CS).
