I'm a postdoctoral associate at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, and the Identity and Conflict Lab, Yale University. Previously, I've been a researcher at the center for governance and the economy, the Israel Democracy Institute. I hold a PhD in Public Policy from the School of Public Policy and Governance, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 

I study political economy, political behavior and public policy. I have a special interest in intergroup relations, the causes of intergroup hate, and specifically how hate and conflict might originate in misperceptions of reality, and how they effect various political and economic outcomes.
