Publications

I began my academic journey at the Technion in the fall of 2015, where I have been doing research since the second semester of my undergraduate studies. I have published 10 first author papers in prestigious astrophysical journals, two of them as single author, and one invited review (My full publications list can be also found on ADS). Student-led publications are marked with Asterix.
