Language systems that make research useful in practice.
I am a Senior Data and Applied Scientist at Microsoft, specializing in Natural Language Processing solutions for healthcare. With expertise in computational linguistics and machine learning, I build NLP systems that address complex healthcare challenges.
Before Microsoft, I served as a Research Scientist and Team Lead at Intel Labs, leading research at the intersection of Deep Learning and NLP. I hold both a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
My research spans efficient language model training, model quantization, retrieval-augmented generation, long-context LLM evaluation, and knowledge distillation, with publications at venues including EMNLP, NeurIPS, COLING, and ACM SIGIR. My earlier work also covers information retrieval and distributed systems.
