概要

I am a Principal Researcher at Microsoft, specializing in generative AI and machine learning. I bring nearly a decade of experience in generative ML, and more than 18 years across industry and academic research.

At Microsoft, and previously at IBM Research, I have led research initiatives and teams across machine learning, NLP, and AI. My work spans science, technology, and product — from research published in leading academic venues to large-scale AI systems and agents used by millions of people worldwide, including ongoing contributions to Microsoft 365 Copilot. I have worked hands-on across several generations of ML technology, from classical machine learning and LSTMs to modern LLMs and AI agents.

My background is in mathematics and computer science. I hold a Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science and a B.A. from the Technion, with earlier research in logic and formal methods.

I live in Haifa, Israel. Outside of work, I enjoy strength training and following recent developments in digital mathematics (opens in new tab).
