Yohai Bar-Sinai

Principal investigator

• PhD, Weizmann Institute of science, 2016
• Master, UPMC, Paris, 2010
• BA, Physics+Math, Hebrew University, 2008

I mostly hang around the other people making sure they’re not too productive. Since September 2019 I’m also a visitng professor in Google Research, Tel Aviv.

Théo Jules

Postdoctoral fellow

• PhD, Ecole Normale Superiéure, Paris, 2020

Théo is working on understanding the dynamics of deep neural network training using tools from statistical physics (Langevin dynamics, etc.)

Neri Berman

PhD student

Neri is studying earthquake statistics with physics-inspired ML. This is a collaboration with the Google TLV Research team.

Amit Federbush

Master student

Amit is looking at the random dynamics of interacting colloidal particles to see what we can learn about their interactions from their kinematics. This work is in collaboration with Roy Beck’s lab.

Shachaf Rotem

Master student

Shachaf is looking at a geometrical description of soft mechanical meta-materials. He’s using our recently developed formalism, to study disordered metamaterials and understand emergent phenomena such as the collapse dynamics, localization properties and more.

Nir Zadok

Master student

Nir is looking at extensions of our recent paper about calculating entropy with machine learning. He’s trying to apply the method to disordered systems with non stationary dynamics (e.g. the Kovacs effect) and look at entropy generation.
