Outreach, Public Engagement & Initiative
Integrative Science - Interdisciplinary Research Program
July 2021 - January 2024: I lead an interdisciplinary research program designed for undergraduate students in the Technion’s Rothschild Honors Program. The goal of the program is to foster synergistic collaborations between diverse academic domains, with the aspiration that the integration of methodologies across disciplines will engender innovative and stimulating ideas. An additional and no less important goal is to form relationships between undergraduate students and researchers from various faculties in the Technion. In collaboration with Evgenia Seiko.
Public Talk
October 2019: I gave a public talk in the Technion's Science Club about the formation of the heaviest elements in the Universe (see slides).
Technion's Board of Governors
June 2018: I gave a presentation about my research and activities so far, which was followed by conversations over lunch, to the Technion’s board of governors (see slides).
Alpha Program - Future Scientists of the World
October 2016 - May 2018: During my undergraduate studies, I took part in the 'Alpha Program' designed to give driven high school students the opportunity to participate in astrophysics research, while providing them personal mentorship. Together with Prof. Noam Soker, I co-advised Yara Kasum and Daniel Vigdor in a research project centered on the morphologies of planetary nebulae. At present, Yara is studying for her bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering at the Technion.
Public Engagement
January 2024: I filmed a short video explaining my research to the broad audience. The video was posted on the Technion's social media pages (see here).
My first paper, where we suggest a possible explanation for ear-like morphologies of supernova remnants (see here), generated interest among the scientifical and non-scientifical community.
Mickey Mouse ears may explain universe’s biggest explosions
November 2016: My advisor Prof. Noam Soker and I were interviewed by Joshua Sokol, a reporter from the weekly science and technology journal NewScientist regarding the results we presented in ‘core collapse supernovae remnants with ears’. You can find the resulting article here. This was also the basis for the popular science article of Pablo Della Paolera from Buenos Aires, Argentina (in Spanish , here).
The student that found a solution to Mickey Mouse ears in space
March 2017: I was interviewed by a science reporter of Ynet, which is the largest and most popular news website in Israel. In the interview, I explained the results of my first paper in a simple and engaging language. This interview resulted in the publication of a popular science article called “The student that found a solution to Mickey Mouse ears in space” (in Hebrew, here).
