Work experience

Associate Research Scientist
11.2023 - 06.2025 |RTX BBN Technologies
Java, Machine Learning, RabbitMQ, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, Bash, Linux, gRPC
● Worked on ASTARTE-ATLAS, a DARPA-sponsored program for real-time airspace operations and deconfliction. ● Built and improved microservices and decision-making algorithms to increase situational awareness. ● Partnered with military stakeholders to integrate capabilities into complex command-and-control workflows.
Research & Development Engineer
01.2022 - 11.2023 |Eski Watercraft
Unity, Python, Java, C/C++, Solidworks, Simulation, Firmware, Electrical
● Served as an early R&D engineer on the Trident ES1 electric watercraft prototype. ● Designed hot-swapping battery circuitry and embedded control software to ensure uninterrupted operation. ● Built a native user interface with comprehensive blind-accessibility features. ● Implemented a GPS and dead-reckoning geofencing safety system with automated alerts and adaptive speed limiting. ● Validated all systems through rigorous field testing.
Research & Development Engineer
08.2022 - 05.2023 |Worcester Polytechnic Institute
OpenCV, TensorFlow, ROS 2
Autonomous Ocean Trash Collection Robot: ● Developed a computer vision-based algorithm using OpenCV and TensorFlow to identify debris on the water's surface. ● Implemented ROS 2 nodes for navigation and control. ● Designed a waterproof on-board electronics system for fully autonomous navigation and collection.
Research & Development Engineer
05.2020 - 10.2021 |Erbi Biosystems
Solidworks, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Biotechnology, Python, Java, C/C++, Embedded Systems
● Developed a computer-vision Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) pipeline to measure cell-flow velocities and compute real-time shear forces. ● Enabled closed-loop micro-adjustments of air pressure during perfusion based on the PIV data. ● Engineered and assembled a prototype bonding device for reliably fusing perfusion membranes to polycarbonate. ● Maintained precise control of force and temperature throughout the entire bonding cycle.
Research & Development Engineer
since 07.2025 - Till the present day |Automata Lab
LTL, MARL, IQL, IPPO, IDQN, MAPPO
● Researching decentralized, LTL-driven safety shielding for cooperative MARL. ● Designing and evaluating per-agent, per-role, and per-action-type shields that compile specifications to local automata and enforce safety via action masking. ● Implementing and comparing decentralized variants with centralized shields using algorithms like IQL, IPPO, IDQN, and MAPPO (RLlib).
Research & Development Engineer
10.2021 - 02.2022 |Worcester Polytechnic Institute
IQP
Analyzing Initiatives for Future Use of the Timna Industrial Area in Southern Israel: ● Researched environmental, economic, and social effects of abandoned copper mines. ● Interviewed residents and government officials. ● Developed decision matrices to evaluate feasible redevelopment plans.
