About Me

VP Advanced technologies at Common Ground. Previously, a PhD student in the Interactive Geometry Lab at ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Olga Sorkine-Hornung. I've earned my Masters in computer science at ETH Zurich, my BSc in mathematics at the Open University of Israel, and was a research assistant under Prof. Yaron Lipman . Before that I was a security researcher.

My research interestes are geometry processing, discrete differential geometry, digital fabrication and architectural geometry and as of late 3D reconstruction and photorealistic rendering. My PhD's focus was on applying and developing concepts from discrete differential geometry into simple and efficient shape modeling algorithms.
