About Me

EDUCATION

I completed my B.Sc. in Physics and Math in the Hebrew U. in Jerusalem. Following my service in IDF I did a M.Sc. in theoretical physics in Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot IL.

In 2001 I received my Ph.D in experimental physics at Stanford U. supervised by Prof. M. L. Perl.

CAREER

Following the completion of my Ph.D I became a research associate at SLAC and a member of the Babar experiment. In Feb. 2006 I joined the faculty of Princeton University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the high energy experimental physics group. I became a member of the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider.
