Funding from the Israel Science Foundation (2018-2022 and 2022-2026, each ~$250,000/4 years) and a Consolidator grant from the European Research Council (2025-2030, ~1.785M Euro / 5 years). Together with his Ph.D. student Ben Kretzu, won the best student paper award in the leading theoretical machine learning conference Computational Learning Theory, 2022.
Research Experience
Spent a year as a Research Assistant Professor at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago following his Ph.D. Rejoined the Technion as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences in 2017.
Education
Received B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (2010), M.Sc. in Computer Science (2012), and Ph.D. (2015), all at the Technion.
Background
Broadly interested in the theory and algorithmic foundations of efficient continuous optimization (mostly convex and high-dimensional) and their applications to problems that arise in machine learning and data science.
