About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow, supported by the Rothschild Fellowship, at the Computational Cognitive Science (CoCoSci) lab in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) at MIT. Before that, I completed my PhD at The Hebrew University under the guidance of Jeffrey Rosenschein (HUJI) and Peter Dayan (Max Planck Institute). My research focuses on understanding the role of cognitive hierarchies, known as Theory of Mind (ToM), in MARL, particularly in mixed-motive problems. You can learn more about me, my interests and my work here.
