Bio

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Autonomous Systems Lab, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Stanford University, hosted by Marco Pavone. My research focuses on algorithmic aspects of robotics. I am particularly interested in the design and analysis of techniques for robot motion planning, multi-robot systems, and autonomous mobility on demand. I am supported by the Fulbright Scholars Program.

Prior to Stanford, I was a Ph.D. student at Tel Aviv University working with Dan Halperin in the Computational Geometry Lab. I was supported by the Clore Israel Foundation.
