[first].[last](at)mail.huji.ac.il

I completed my Ph.D. at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, and was advised by Prof. Guy Katz.
My research focuses on enhancing and extending the formal verification of neural networks, with an emphasis on scalability and applicability.
