| About me |
|
I am a Ph.D. candidate working with Prof. W. Clem Karl and Prof. Prakash Ishwar in the Information Sciences and Systems (ISS) Laboratory
at Boston University. I recently completed a summer internship with the medical imaging group at Analogic Corporation in Peabody, MA. I received an M.S. degree in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from Boston University in 2010 and a B.Sc. degree
in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Ben-Gurion University,
Beer-Sheva, Israel in 2006. In 2007-2008 I was as a teaching assistant
at Boston University for the courses 'Signal and Systems' and
'Probablity'. In 2005-2007 I worked in Winbond Israel as a chip design
engineer.
