I'm an ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) Fellow at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Prior to that, I completed my PhD at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.
I'm a theoretical and computational astrophysicist interested in fundamental aspects of gravitational dynamics and high-energy astrophysical phenomena with wide range applications for:
Solar and exoplanetary systems
Stellar dynamics and evolution
Dense stellar clusters and galactic nuclei
Compact objects and gravitational waves
By numerical and analytical modeling, I aim to predict and clarify complex phenomena, advancing our understanding of these areas of interest.

July 2026: I've enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Italy again at the "Galactic Nuclei Astrophysical Phenomena", this time in Sexten!
February 2026: I've enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Trieste, Italy at the "Chaos and Nonlinearity in Dynamical Astronomy" workshop!
November 2025: I've received the ARC DECRA fellowship with over $500,000 project costs!
May 2025: I'm selected to give another public talk at the Pint of Science festival!
August-October 2024: I had much fun attending various workshops, including "New ideas on the origins of Black Hole Mergers" in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the "Theories of the Three-Body Problem" in Prato, Italy, which I co-organised. I also spent wonderful 4 weeks at the MPA!
April 2024: Our paper on "Effects of Thermal torques on AGN disc migration" (or simply "Black-Hole traffic) is highlighted by the Monash research office, and many other outlets!
November 2023: I was interviewed for "Spaced out down under" on Plenty Valley specials, 88.6FM on "The Life Cycle of Black Hole and Neutron Star mergers"!
May 2023: My first public talk at the Pint of Science festival! Slides are here!
