I am a PhD researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I joined the Machine Learning and Information Processing Lab in June 2026 under the supervision of Prof. Reinhard Heckel. My research explores agentic AI for medical imaging: AI systems that can plan, use tools, and act autonomously across medical imaging applications.

Before TUM, I received my M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Tel Aviv University. My M.Sc., a joint industrial program with Samsung Corephotonics advised by Prof. David Mendlovic, focused on polarization imaging for face anti-spoofing, resulting in a first-author IEEE Sensors Journal paper and a patent. In parallel, I worked as an Image Quality Engineer at Samsung Corephotonics on ISP tuning, image quality assessment, and camera-sensor evaluation.
