I am a Research Scientist at Google Research in Tel-Aviv where I work on vision-and-language. I completed my PhD in The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. During my time there, I had the privilege of being advised by Dr. Roy Schwartz and Dr. Gabriel Stanovsky.

The goal of my research is to improve vision and language generalization. Specifically, I aim to develop models with better compositionality abilities, less biased and better perform on real-world examples. My recent works and interest areas include image-text alignment, improving text-to-image models, and visual instruction tuning. See my publications for more details. My PhD talk "Bridging Vision and Language with Data: From Perception to Understanding" 🎬 record is available here.

I did my MSc with Prof. Michael Elhadad and Prof. Eitan Bachmat, at the Ben Gurion University.
