I am a theoretical and computational astrophysicist interested in the fundamental aspects of compact objects (Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs), nuclear and plasma astrophysics, and thermonuclear

supernovae (SNe Ia), the neutron capture process (r-process), Dark Matter, and transient events. Through numerical and analytical modeling, I aim to predict and clarify complex, innovative observational phenomena and advance our understanding in these areas.

​​​​

​Recently, I started a position as Assistant Professor of Theoretical

Physics at the Astrophysics Research Center (ARCO) at the Open University of Israel. In addition, I serve as an Adjunct Assistant

Professor at Johns Hopkins University. 

​

Are you eager to explore thrilling

astrophysical phenomena?

We have outstanding opportunities for graduates

and postdoctoral researchers. 

 

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us!​​

 

We have 2-3 new postdoctoral

fellowships open (Application Deadline:

Dec 30th 2026); see AAS.org.
