About Me:
I am currently a Computer Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Robotics, Embedded Autonomy, and Communication Theory (REACT) Lab
led by Professor Stephanie Gil at Harvard University focusing on development of multiagent
resilient decision-making and coordination algorithms. Prior to joining Harvard I completed my PhD in Computer
Science at the Multi-Agent Robotic Systems Laboratory led by Professor Alfred M. Bruckstein at the Technion-
Israel Institute of Technology. I received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from
Ben-Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel.
My research interests are in multi-agent teamwork, autonomous robotics, computer vision, deep learning,
intelligent transportation systems and bio-inspired robotics. My research is centered on collaborative
algorithms for motion planning of autonomous vehicles, air traffic management and coordination of unmanned
vehicles and multi-robot learning. The long-term goal of my research is to develop robotic systems that will
improve the quality of life for humans by developing algorithms for cooperative robotic teams while drawing
inspiration from behaviors in nature.
