I am currently working on my postdoc project at the Naval Postgraduate School, at the computer science department. This allows me to extend my horizons to problems related to body posture recognition, subresolution tracking and surveillance applications. I completed my Phd on Intelligent Systems in Hand Gesture Vocabularies Design. I concentrated mainly on pattern recognition, cognitive and physiological measures for hand gesture interfaces for robot control. For more information, see my publications and my dissertation. I first joined the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, as an Electronics and Education undergraduate at ORT college in 1999, and received my MSc in Industrial Engineering in the Information Systems track magna cum laude in 2003. My Phd was supervised by Helman Stern and Yael Edan, in the Intelligent Systems Research Group.
My research is focused on two connected disciplines related to machine vision: intelligent systems and human-machine interfaces. In both fields, I am intrigued by the means of interaction between robots to people through visual meaningful features. In human-machine interfaces, I aspire to design visual algorithms that are capable to mimic visual perception tasks such as motion tracking, object recognition, efficient human body-posture recognition, and behavior modeling and understanding. In intelligent systems, my focus is oriented to enable robots and devices to perform high level tasks with speed and efficiency based on visual clues from complex and cluttered environments.
