Undergraduate studies in Physics and Mathematics, Tel Aviv University, Israel.

MSc and PhD in Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

My PhD research focused on anomalous behaviours in complex systems, using tools from statistical mechanics. Topics included information processing in physical systems, transport in disordered media, anomalous relaxation, critical phenomena, coarse-graining, and control in Hamiltonian systems.

I am broadly interested in the emergence of structure and function in physical and biological systems, and in using theoretical physics to gain insights into complex phenomena across disciplines.

I am particularly interested in the theory of machine learning, especially in understanding generalization, representation, and the dynamics of learning in overparameterized models.

I aim to identify simple, analytically tractable models that capture essential phenomena in learning systems, bridging statistical physics and modern AI.
