I'm a faculty member at the Math Department of Ben-Gurion University.
During the academic year 2024-2025 I was a visiting professor at the Katok Center in Penn State University.
I was a postdoc at Northwestern University, a Ph.D. student of Omri Sarig at the Weizmann Institute, and an M.Sc. student of Hillel Furstenberg at the Hebrew University.
