Title: Researcher
Team: Microsoft Research New England
When it's time for a break, Yael likes to head down to the Crema Café for a cappuccino with a shot of inspiration.

  • Why Microsoft Cambridge?
    I guess the main reason is it's the perfect environment for me to do research. There are a lot of visitors coming by, it's very active, we're next door to MIT, Harvard, and BU, which makes it very lively and fun. It's very, very dynamic.
  • What is your favorite feature about the new Cambridge campus?
    Definitely the view. I like a lot of other things. I like the layout, it kind of encourages people to talk and collaborate. I like the furniture, but by far it's the view.
  • What is your favorite local haunt?
    My favorite local place is Crema Café. I do a lot of my research there, I love that place. And I should thank them for some of my ideas, which actually originated there. So that's one of my favorite places.
  • Do you have any unique skills?
    I really have an ability to focus. Once I think about something I can really, really dive deep into thought and the world could explode around me and I literally would have no idea.
  • Any guilty pleasures?
    I would say cappuccino and chocolate. I don't feel guilty but I love them.
