Currently, I am a lecturer at the University of Haifa in the Medical Imaging Sciences department and a Postdoc at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Engineering. I earned my PhD from the Hebrew University. Previously, I worked at Philips as a scientist in the Medical Imaging domain. My main research interests are: 1) Reliable medical imaging algorithms for safe use in healthcare. 2) Affordable and easy to use medical imaging algorithms. 3) Medical imaging tools based on clinical needs (e.g Fetal MRI).
