I'm a research staff member at IBM Research - Haifa (HRL), a member of the information retrieval research group. My research is focused on broad topics of information retrieval (e.g., content analysis and quality, search optimization, UGC analysis, entity search and user modeling), data mining (BigData, BI, CI, text and social analytics), Recommender Systems, Semantic Web and data integration, Web monitoring, Web crawling and content dissemination networks.

I serve as HRL's Web PIC co-chair.

I received the B.Sc degree (2004) in information systems engineering and the Ph.D (2008) degree in information management engineering, both from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
