About
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University, and a visiting research scientist at Google. Previously, I was a professor at the Technion Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences, and before that I was a postdoctoral researcher in David Sontag’s Clinical Machine Learning Lab, first at NYU and later at MIT. I did my PhD in the Hebrew University under the guidance of Gal Chechik and Daphna Weinshall.
