Experienced generative AI researcher with a strong background in computer graphics, animation, and VFX.

I am currently a senior research scientist at Kyoso, previously at Meta AI.

I completed my PhD at Tel Aviv University, working on shape analysis, segmentation and shape matching.
In recent years I have led research projects in generative 3D modeling, image and video generation, diffusion models, LLM / VLM training, and conversational agents.

I have in-depth practical experience in animation and VFX production.
