I am an associate professor at Ben-Gurion University, Israel. Before returning to Israel, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University and the Weinberg Theory Group at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my PhD from Tel-Aviv University in 2012.
My research interests span the field of data-driven cosmology, from the theoretical study of various astrophysical phenomena, high-energy theories of the early universe and missing pieces of the standard cosmological model, to the planning of dedicated cosmological observations and the analysis of their data.

My full CV can be found here.

Our group is always looking for talented postdocs, Ph.D. and Masters students. If you're interested, contact us!
