Work Experiencesince 2017 McGill University. Research assistant

Conducting research in high-energy theory with professors SimonCaron-Huot and Sarah Harrison on the topic of Chern-Simons the-ories with matter. We are computing 2→ 2 scattering of scalars cou-pled to a Chern Simons gauge field to 1 loop in order to investigatethe emergence of non analyticity in the S-matrix.

2017-18 McGill University. Teaching assistantHonor’s Electromagnetic Waves.Statistical Mechanics.

2018 UC Davis, CaliforniaAttended “Amplitudes 2018” Summer School at QMAP.

2015-16 Racah Institute of Physics. Research assistantI worked as a research assistant under the supervision of professorJay Fineberg of the Racah Institute of Physics in the Hebrew Univer-sity of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel. Our research was in the field offracture mechanics. I developed original ways of characterizing theroughness of a surface and implemented them in Python.

2014-16 Self-Employed TutorI tutored various undergrads and colleagues during my undergrad-uate program on topics ranging from 1’st year calculus to 3’rd yearquantum physics.

2009-12 Israel Defence Forces. Intelligence analystPart of mandatory military service.
