I am a PhD Student at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Maxim Likhachev. My research is driven by a profound interest in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
More specifically, I am interested in developing algorithms for robotic manipulation, particularly in cluttered environments where heavy contact is essential. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring the integration of recent advancements in deep learning with the robustness of search-based planning algorithms to enhance motion planning techniques in high-dimensional spaces.
Previously, I was a Master’s Student at Tel Aviv University, advised by Avishai Sintov at TAU Robotics Lab.
