About me

I am a postdoc researcher in the MIT Data Systems Group working with Prof. Michael Cafarella. I am developing automatized data tools to facilitate data analysis performed by scientists to accelerate scientific discoveries. My research draws on ideas from data management and causal reasoning, making them practical for goal-oriented scientists working with real-life datasets.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Tova Milo.

I have completed my B.Sc. studies in Computer Science at Ben Gurion University, and my M.Sc. in Computer Science at Tel-Aviv University.
