Shlomo bridges the depth of scientific inquiry with the breadth of cultural fluency—qualities that distinguish him as a natural leader in roles such as Chief Scientist. Trained across disciplines, he brings to bear an impressive academic trajectory spanning artificial intelligence, quantum physics, and military history.
His current research centers on Defence and Strategic Studies at Missouri State University, Shlomo’s work delves deeply into the moral and ethical dimensions of warfare and human extinction-level events, a field that fuses science with ethics. His earlier studies include advanced signal processing at Queen Mary University of London and quantum physics at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University.
Alongside his research, he has published a book on Deep Learning that serves as a reference in the field, and was recently awarded a Gold Medal in the Kaggle AI AI Math Olympiad (AIMO2), one of the most demanding benchmarks for large language models (LLMs). As an advocate for self-publishing, Shlomo is also deeply passionate about typography, fonts, and LaTeX, leveraging these tools to craft visually and structurally precise publications.
Beyond the technical, Shlomo is a linguist and cultural scholar. This multilingualism deepens his capacity to engage with complex global issues, from Middle Eastern history to Cold War strategy. He reads classical authors like Pushkin and Rumi, a testament to his engagement with both literary heritage and linguistic nuance.
His work is informed by a understanding of Islamic tradition, biblical scripture, and Judeo-Christian thought. This intellectual and spiritual fluency allows him to approach cross-cultural dialogue with both rigor and respect.
With field experience as Chief Scientist and international consultant, he has worked across borders and sectors.

Tractatus Historicus – A Logical Examination of Anti-Semitism
This haunting watercolor captures the anguish of an Israeli hostage kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7th, 2023, attacks, reflecting Tractatus Historicus’s unflinching examination of terrorism, trauma, and the human cost of ideological hatred.
In this work, Tractatus Historicus, I undertake a critical examination of the historical, political, and moral foundations of modern anti-Semitism narratives and their implications for contemporary discourse. Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, this book employs a rigorous and logical structure to confront the myths, claims, and distortions that have shaped global perceptions of Hamas and Israel.
Tragically, anti-Semitism persists because myths and distortions continue to wield influence. This book seeks to untangle these narratives, demonstrating how historical misrepresentations—from medieval blood libels to modern-day rhetoric—are weaponized to delegitimize Israel.
Sample verses in English and German—styled akin to Wittgenstein’s Tractatus—document the systematic terror, reflecting Tractatus Historicus’s unflinching examination of violence and ideological hatred.
One cannot address these narratives without confronting the harrowing events of October 7th, 2023, when Hamas orchestrated a campaign of unprecedented violence against Israeli civilians. The massacre was not merely a tragic event but a defining moment in the ongoing conflict, highlighting the nexus of Hamas terrorism, genocidal intent, and anti-Semitic ideology. The atrocities committed—mass executions, systematic sexual violence, and grotesque mutilations—demand a moral reckoning and form a critical backdrop for this book’s inquiry.
The October 7th massacre was not an isolated aberration but the culmination of decades of hostility toward the Jewish state. Central to this hostility are political movements such as Hamas and ideologies propagated by institutions like UNRWA. The role of international organizations in perpetuating anti-Israel sentiment and shielding terrorism under the guise of humanitarianism is a recurring theme in this work. This book aims to shed light on how these entities contribute to the entrenchment of conflict and the perpetuation of falsehoods.
The current resurgence of anti-Semitism is driven by several interconnected factors: the Hamas-Israeli conflict, which has been transformed from a primarily political struggle into something darker and often religious; the expansion and migration of Muslim populations within Europe; the uncertainties of the post-Cold War global order; regional disparities exacerbated by globalization; economic instability worldwide; and the rise of radical Islam, which identifies the “Satanic” United States and its “little Satan” ally—conspiratorial Zionists—as the culprits for the suffering of the Muslim world. Once again, irrationality resurfaces with disturbing force.

Shlomo: Artistic Bio
"Every threshold is a theory — until someone crosses it." This is the guiding metaphor behind Shlomo's creative work — a world where logic bleeds into aesthetics, and the boundaries between philosophy, trauma, and image are constantly redrawn.
At the heart of his artistic vision lies an obsession. Shlomo is a painter, and narrative artist whose visual language captures the moral fractures of modern conflict. His work does not offer escapism. Instead, it demands confrontation: with extinction, with propaganda, with the fragile idea of truth.
His forthcoming book, Tractatus Historicus, depicts haunting watercolor illustrations to accompany its logical propositions: portraits of Israeli hostages rendered in delicate washes, capturing both anguish and ideological violence. The paintings — Israeli Hostage 1, 2, and 3 — are visual testimonies, echoing the unflinching silence of Wittgenstein's final proposition: "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." They are part of an ongoing series, The Faces of October, which explores the psychological erosion inflicted by ideological hatred.
16th-century engraving of Jerusalem from the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg, depicting the Holy City with its prominent landmarks and a Latin inscription praising its significance and splendor.
Fluent in the aesthetic languages of Persian poems, Soviet montage, Islamic calligraphy, and war propaganda, Shlomo's style is unmistakable — stark, reverent, devastating.
