Education
2013 - 2024
Ben-Gurion University Ph.D
PhD received in 2024, M.Sc. received in 2019, B.SC. received in 2017 with expertise in signal processing. All in the department of biomedical engineering, including six years of neuroscience research in the neural coding lab of Prof. Ronen Segev.
Experience
2015 - 2018
Biomedical Optics Research Assistant, BGU
Research assistant in a biomedical optics lab in BGU. Created a LabVIEW Interface that activates a Stimulated Brillouin Spectroscopy process through tissues. The interface analyzes the results and displays them on the monitor. In the final project of the B.SC. the system’s performance was maximized with Fabry-Perot filters designed especially.

About
Lear Cohen has recently received his Ph.D. from the department of Biomedical Engineering, Ben Gurion university of the Negev, Israel. His research, conducted in the neural encoding lab of prof. Ronen Segev, focused on how navigation is enabled using the activity of single neurons in the brain. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in the same department in 2017 and 2019. Lear has an unusual perspective on life, which leads to his everyday choices. He is not using a smartphone, and dedicates most of his time to his family. Nevertheless, creative thinking and working disciplines enabled him to overcome any obstacle on the way to professional success.
