      Specializing in Electro-Optics, Electronic Devices and Signal Processing.Final Project – Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) and Quantum State Tomography (QST) in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). Designed and implemented an algorithm for performing tomography on a bi-photon quantum state post SPDC, which was used in theoretical (E. Rozenberg et al. Optica. 9, 602 (2022)) and experimental (Ofir Yesharim et al. Sci. Adv.9, eade7968 (2023)) research.
