I received my B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Geo-information Engineering, all from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. I am currently an Assistant Professor, heading the Swarm and AI (SAIL) Lab, at the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies. Prior to joining the University of Haifa, I was the founder and CTO of Autonomy & Data Science R&D in the government sector, working with research partners around the world and leading research groups, for more than twenty years. In the last five years, I am working on joint research with CSAIL & LIDS MIT labs and UPenn, on swarms and machine learning algorithms.

My research focus on making humanity better, using swarms and AI across scales. The adaptability and scalability of swarms make them particularly suited to tasks that require distributed sensing, acting, and processing, presenting numerous possibilities for addressing complex and large-scale challenges facing humanity. From nanorobots for cancer treatment, to environmental monitoring and conservation in the ocean, or disaster response and recovery, traffic management and logistics etc. – swarms, particularly swarm intelligence, offer several significant benefits for humanity.

In our cutting-edge research lab, we delve into the complex and rapidly evolving field of swarms and autonomy, leveraging the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to push the boundaries of autonomous systems across scales.

Our vision is to make human life better, where adaptability and scalability of swarms can make the difference for the ocean and for other aspects as well.

We strive to pioneer innovations that contribute significantly to the fields of autonomy and swarms, ultimately shaping the future of intelligent autonomous systems.
