Research interests: I love tackling complex challenges that require creative problem-solving, often involving unexpected connections between various pieces of the problem. For me, condensate biology represents the ultimate puzzle.
Education: I obtained a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science, followed by an M.Sc. in Computer Science, both from Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Israel. During my Ph.D., in Computer Science from TAU, I developed methods for integrative structure determination under the guidance of Andrej Sali (UCSF) and Haim Wolfson (TAU). For my postdoctoral training, I join Lucy Shapiro's lab at Stanford, where I studied biomolecular condensates in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus.
