ABOUT ME

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut für Atmosphäre und Klima at the ETH in Zürich, working on Atmospheric Predictability and extreme weather events with Prof. Daniela Domeisen. 
 

I graduated my Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Feb. 2018. My research focused on midlatitude storm tracks and drivers of storm track seasonal cycle, using a combination of observational data analysis and idealized climate models.

​

I completed my M.Sc. at the Weizmann Institute in 2010, working with Prof. Hezi Gildor on the formation of coherent eddies in the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat. The study involved modeling of the gulf using MITgcm and analysis of HF-radar observations, as well as regional wind data.

​

During my M.Sc., I have also worked in the group of Prof. Ilan Koren, where I studied smoke in the Amazon to demonstrate two opposing effects of aerosols on clouds. 

 

I have a BSc in Geophysics, with focus on Planetary Sciences, from Tel Aviv University (graduated in 2007).
