I'm a research-oriented Creative Technologist.
In the past 12 years have worked as a Video Editor, Visual Effects Artist, Director, Designer and TV Presenter.
I have a B.Sc in Mathematics and Linguistics from Tel Aviv University, and I'm working towards a Master's in Interactive Telecommunications at NYU.
I inject Machine Learning into as many of my work as possible. I'm fascinated with complex systems, and will often try to explain that to people around me. I also like neon lights.
Things I did:
Structured Domain Randomization: Bridging the Reality Gap by Context-Aware Synthetic Data [ICRA 2019]
Kinesthetic Haptics for VR [SIGGRAPH 2017 & RoboSoft 2018]
Towards Infinite Virtual Reality Redirected Walking [SIGGRAPH 2018]
FORMA [0.02]
