Postdoctoral Scholar in AI & Robotics at the Computational Robotics Lab (CRL), Computer Science Faculty, Technion — Israel Institute of Technology.
My research focuses on Planning, Search & Optimization, with broad applications in AI & robotics. I develop theory, algorithms and planners/solvers.
- Motion planning and manipulation for dual-armed robots
- Motion planning for snake-like robots
- Multi-agent warehouse optimization
- Planning with dynamically estimated action models
- Bidirectional heuristic search

Outside of research, I am an active investor. I occasionally share opinions on my X profile and publish investment theses and financial models as GitHub repositories.
