Department of Industrial Engineering,
Università degli Studi di Trento, Italy
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering, Università degli Studi di Trento, Italy, where I am working with Prof. Giulia Giordano
(http://giordanogiulia.altervista.org/).
Before that, I obtained a Ph.D from the school of Electrical Engineering in Tel-Aviv University, where I was privileged to be mentored by Prof. Emilia Fridman
(https://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~emilia/).
Before that, I completed my B.Sc and M.Sc in Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematical Sciences in Tel-Aviv University.
My main research interests revolve around Control Theory of PDEs, Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Algebraic Methods for Inverse Problems.
I have recently won the prestigious Juan de la Cierva fellowship.
