About me

I am an aspiring Cognitive Computational Neuroscientist.

My interests include anything mind related, from everyday perception to rare strokes of genius, and I am especially eager to understand the computational principles underlying our subjective inner world (consciousness, there I said it!). In my current work I hope to shed light on these perennial questions by combining large datasets of human electrophysiology with behavioral computational modelling.

I am currently finishing my PhD in Computational Neuroscience at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC), under the supervision of Prof. Leon Deouell (main advisor) and Prof. Ayelet Landau (set to graduate during the summer\fall of 2024). I also hold a BSc in Abstract Mathematics (summa cum laude).

In my PhD I use large datasets of human electrophysiology to shed light on the nature of our ongoing visual experience (see here our recent intracranial study, and here all of the code for analysis and visualization I wrote for the occasion). I have experience with behavioral modelling and I occasionally dabble in philosophy (for example, here).

See my full CV here, and please reach out.
