Shimon Malnick

I’m currently a PhD candidate of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University, under the joint supervision of Prof. Shai Avidan and Prof. Ohad Fried. My research focuses on generative models for computer vision, in particular diffusion and flow-based models, with an emphasis on inversion for analysis, evaluation, and safety/privacy.

Previously, I worked as an Applied Science Intern at Amazon, developing and evaluating vision–language models for high-resolution image understanding.
