Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. student at the Computer Sciences Department, which is part of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

I'm interested in understanding large amounts of data, especially of biological origins, by using machine learning approaches and by designing statistical models. My adviser is William Cohen.

I enjoy hiking and traveling around the world. I Have a super smart cat, and the world's best husband :-)

Previous Work

I was an M.Sc. and B.Sc. student at the Computer Sciences and Computational Biology program, which is part of the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I was part of the Furman Lab, located at the Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology, and my adviser was Dr. Ora Schueler-Furman. The group focuses on understanding protein-protein interactions from a structural bioinformatics perspective, and specifically, in docking predictions and interface design.

Apart from doing research, I used to work as a software engineer at IBM. At the summer of 2012 I was a software engineering intern at Facebook.
