Biography

Faculty of School of Industrial Engineering, Tel Aviv University, Israel. My research interests lie in the synergy between mathematical formalism, developmental psychology, neuroscience, AI and robotics. I believe that knowledge grows from diversified synergies. I am a multidisciplinary academic, with a physicist soul and neuroscientist goals. I am first and foremost a theoretician, modelist and thinker, attempting to formalize our curious minds and instilling it in artificial agents. I started my own Curiosity Lab at Tel-Aviv University, Israel, where I continue to develop mathematical models of curiosity, investigate how to quantitatively assess and promote curiosity in children and adults and bestow curiosity onto robots so that they will learn about their own body, object affordances and social interaction all by themselves in an optimal manner.

Research Interest

Artificial curiosity, curious robots, human-technology exploration, curiosity-driven models and algorithms
