About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Hebrew University Faculty of Law and School of Computer Science and Engineering, where I lead the Governance of AI Lab (GOAL). My work aims to support safe and ethical AI through cross-disciplinary research that integrates methods from law, computer science, and the social sciences. Areas of focus include the governance of AI agents, empirical evaluations of legal alignment, and studying the impacts of AI on the rule of law.
