Academic Journey
A chronological path through Israel, South Korea, and Singapore.
2016 - PRESENT
Learning across borders
From civil and environmental engineering to data-rich water systems, urban air, and physics-informed AI.
2016 - 2020
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
BSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering
Haifa, Israel · GPA 89.3/100
Studied and lived in Israel for four years on a full scholarship. Built broad civil-engineering foundations through coursework in construction materials, environmental engineering, transportation, structural mechanics, and related core subjects, while receiving Dean's List scholarships.
2020 - 2022
KAIST
MSc by Research in Civil and Environmental Engineering
Daejeon, South Korea · GPA 96.67/100
Worked at the intersection of water treatment, AI, and data science, using operational treatment-plant data and deep learning while expanding formal training in machine learning, programming, and probability.
Sep 2022 - Dec 2022
Berkeley Education Alliance for Research in Singapore
Senior Research Engineer
Singapore
Supported an infrared thermography field campaign, including thermal-camera data collection, image preprocessing, data-quality checks, Python analysis workflows, and manuscript preparation for built-environment sensing research.
Jan 2023 - Dec 2026 (expected)
