4. Professional Activities:

Awards, Honors and Research Fellowships: Obtained the second price in the 1989 Gravity Research Foundation Essays Competition. Since October 1991 until October 1994, I was supported through an Allon fellowship. During the period from October 1995 until October 1996 my research has received support from the Ministry of Science and Technology awarded to the proposal (together with Alexander Kaganovich) entitled " Towards the solution of some fundamental problems concerning the very early Universe" . In addition to this the gravity research foundation has cited with honorable mention papers of mine on the years 1986 (a paper with A.Davidson),1987 (a paper with D.Owen), 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992 and in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 (papers with A.Kaganovich).

Organization of Scientific Conferences: I organized the workshop on "Modern Modified Theories of Gravitation and Cosmology", which took place in Ben Gurion University from June 29 and 30, 1997.
