In a nutshell
I'm fascinated by the hidden structures that shape both the natural world and human culture. My work spans planetary science, astronomy, and statistical learning to search for life beyond Earth.
I am a postdoctoral scholar in Jonathan Lunine's research group at Caltech, supported by the Israeli Council for Higher Education (CHE) Scholarship Program for Outstanding Postdoctoral Researchers in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. My research assesses Europa's habitability by exploring its surface texture, composition, and coupling to the Jovian magnetosphere.
