SHORT BIO
I am an associate professor at the Hebrew University, working in the departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science. Previously I was a research associate (post-doc) with Mark Steedman in the University of Edinburgh. I earned my PhD from the Hebrew University, where my supervisor was Ari Rappoport. Before that, I studied mathematics and cognitive sciences in the Hebrew University.
