I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Geoinformatics track at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I study geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) with Professor Amit Birenboim. My research connects spatial statistics, machine learning, and urban informatics to understand how people move through and experience cities.

I also serve as Lead Data Scientist at Negev Urban Research (MIT City Science Lab), building simulation models, ETL pipelines, and public-facing planning tools for smart city development in southern Israel.

Research interests

• Geospatial artificial intelligence and urban analytics
