I am an associate professor in the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) and affiliated with the ECE department, the CSE department, the Neurosciences Graduate program and the Institute for Neural Computation at UC San Diego. I am a member of the NSF TRIPODS institute for Emerging CORE Methods in Data Science (EnCORE). I am part of the Neurotheory Network and Pathways 2 AI. Before joining UCSD, I was a Gibbs Assistant Professor in the Applied Math program at Yale University, with Prof. Ronald Coifman's research group. I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2017 at the Technion under the supervision of Prof. Israel Cohen.
My research interests are Geometric representation learning, Diffusion geometry, Computational neuroscience, Image processing and graph signal processing, and Applied harmonic analysis.
