About

I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the Department of Medical Imaging Sciences at the University of Haifa, where I opened my Healthcare Computer Vision (hVision) lab. I earned my PhD from the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, followed by postdoctoral research in collaboration with the Martinos Center for Biomedical Engineering at Harvard Medical School. Before my PhD studies, I worked as a scientist at Philips, specializing in the Medical Imaging domain.

My research interests include technical topics such as “Trustworthy medical imaging algorithms for safe use in healthcare” and “Label-efficient medical imaging algorithms”, as well as clinical topics such as “Volumetric body composition assessment”, “Handheld ultrasound applications” and “Forensic dental identification”.

I am always looking for motivated Msc. and PhD. students that are passionate about medical imaging technologies.
