Welcome!

I am a Carnegie-Princeton Fellow at Princeton University.
In September 2024, I will start a position as an assistant professor of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University.

I study a wide range of topics in observational near-field cosmology, focusing on the evolution and dynamics of low-mass galaxies, globular clusters, dark matter, and studies of the low surface brightness universe. My work incorporates observational and theoretical evidence from studies of galaxies and globular clusters to build a cohesive narrative of the nature of dark matter and its important interplay with baryonic matter on small scales.

I like thinking about creative data-driven methods for exploring and discovering astrophysical objects and phenomena that were not known to us before.

In search of an astrophysics MSc, PhD, or postdoc? Become a member of my group!
