About Me

I am a PhD student in Data Science at the Technion, working under the supervision of Yevgeni Berzak at the Language, Computation and Cognitition (LaCC) Lab. My research explores how eye movements in reading are related to different reading tasks and to reading comprehension.

Eye Movements in Information-Seeking Reading
In this work, we use question answering as a general framework for studying how eye movements in reading reflect the reader’s goals, how they are pursued, and the extent to which they are achieved.
