SHORT BIO

Prior to being recruited by the University of Haifa, I was a research fellow at Faculty of Bio-Medical Engineering at the Technion and collaborated with Boston’s Children’s Hospital at the Harvard Medical School.

I received my doctoral degree from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (2020). I hold a double first degree (Summa Cum Laude) in Electrical Engineering and Physics from Technion and I am an alumna of the Technion’s Excellence Program.

My research focuses on machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer vision for medical imaging, and specifically on advanced deep learning methods for Computer Aided Diagnostics (CAD). My research lies at the interface of two major technological revolutions, namely, advanced medical imaging devices and artificial intelligence, the combination of which has the potential to provide state-of-the-art automatic medical decision tools to assist radiologists in their daily clinical practice. Such automatic tools may revolutionize the radiological workflow and improve its reliability and accuracy, in a manner that will significantly improve quality and accessibility of medical services to patients, both in hospitals as well as in the community clinical settings.

I am the proud mother of three children: Noga (12), Yair (10) and Eviathar (4).
