I'm a Ph.D. student in the Computational Biology Lab under the supervision of Ryan Lilien. I'm affiliated with both the Department of Computer Science and the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research at the University of Toronto.

I received my B.Sc. degree from The Israel Institute of Technology and my Masters degree from the University of Toronto.

Prior to attending the University of Toronto, I worked at Keddem Bioscience as an algorithm developer in the field of drug discovery and computer-aided drug design. During my B.Sc. degree I worked as a UNIX system administrator at the Intel Development Center in Haifa, Israel.
