About

I am a first year PhD student in the Computer Science department at Brown University advised by Prof. George Konidaris. I am interested in Reinforcement Learning (RL) and related representation learning research towards building general and adaptive decision-making agents.

Research questions I am currently drawn to involve how to incorporate structure that facilitates generalization in decision-making algorithms. Recently I have been studying object-centric structure for compositional generalization in robotic manipulation.

Prior to pursuing my PhD I completed a M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology advised by Prof. Aviv Tamar. I received my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Physics at the Technion supported by the Alfred and Anna Grey Excellence Scholarship.

Before beginning my academic journey, I spent two defining years traveling in East Asia, Europe and America. You can find more details about this in the Travel section.
