BIO

I'm currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University, working with Yael Niv.  My research focuses on understanding the computational nature of adaptive knowledge organization, and how it is altered in mental illness, focusing on anxiety.

I received my B.A. and M.A. at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, where I worked with Anat Maril on prior knowledge influences on learning and memory. Then, I proceeded to do my Ph.D. work at NYU Psychology Department with Lila Davachi (currently Columbia Univesity), where I worked on how changes of context influence knowledge organization in the brain, as well as how predictions and prediction errors shape our memories.
