Oren Sultan
Research Scientist Intern,
Meta Fundamental AI Research (FAIR)
Computer Science PhD Candidate, The Hebrew University
I am an AI Research Scientist Intern at Meta, Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), working on code reasoning, understanding and generation as a part of the CodeGen team. I am also a Computer Science PhD candidate (direct track) at The Hebrew University, grateful to be advised by Prof. Dafna Shahaf. My research focuses on challenging reasoning problems that require abstraction and structure. These are areas where current large language models still struggle. I believe that neuro-symbolic approaches which augment LLMs with symbolic algorithms are a promising direction, combining the best of both worlds. Previously I also worked as an AI Researcher at Lightricks, and as a TA for Data Science under the CIDR (Center for Interdisciplinary Data Science Research). My PhD research is generously funded by the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) Fellowship of the Council for Higher Education (CHE) for outstanding PhD candidates in AI and Data Science in Israel.
I completed both my MSc and BSc in computer science at The Hebrew University (magna cum laude) and participated in two exchange programs with scholarships for honors students. During my BSc at The University of Melbourne, and during my MSc at The Technical University of Munich. Furthermore, I graduated from The Israeli Intelligence Corps (Unit 8200) as an officer (Captain), where I founded and led tech teams of data engineers with honors. During my reserve duty, I co-founded and led special forces of researchers and data scientists. I also have gained an experience from various roles in industry, from data and software engineering to consulting.
