Academic Achievements
  • Published multiple papers in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Communications, and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information Theory. Research directions cover designing efficient data acquisition methods for tasks, characterizing fundamental limits and providing practical reliable solutions for delay and data-rate guarantees, and providing security and privacy in advanced data acquisition systems, among others.
Research Experience
  • Worked as a senior postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 2019 and 2021, part of the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) in the Network Coding and Reliable Communications group led by Professor Muriel Médard. From 2014 to 2019, worked as a research scientist at Intel.
Education
  • Received a Ph.D. in Communication Systems Engineering from Ben-Gurion University (BGU) in 2018, under the supervision of Professors Omer Gurewitz and Asaf Cohen.
Background
  • Research interests include Data Processing, Signal Processing, Information Theory, Security, and Networks. Specifically focused on how to improve the ways we acquire, represent, and transmit information, taking into account the tasks, the data, and the signals. Currently, an Assistant Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty in Technion.
Miscellany
  • Looking for strong graduate students (MSc., Ph.D.) who are interested in doing exciting research on the interface of Signal Processing, Information Theory, Security, and Networks.
