My academic career began at Tel Aviv University in Israel where I double majored in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
I was fortuante to have conducted some undergrad research in computer vision and machine learning.

I then decided to pursue my passion and moved to the US to attend grad school.
I graduated with a MSc and PhD from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst (UMass Amherst).
My research was focused on robotics, focusing on the intersection of computer vision, machine learning and autonomous manipulation.

Next, I did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.

Much of my research is centered around the concept of Interactive Perception. Several researchers have continued to work on this topic since the early work that Oliver Brock and I did. Here's more information about Interactive Perception.
