PhD thesis

I am a research fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, held at the Weizmann Institute of Science, and a Kreitman Post Doctoral Fellow at Ben Gurion University. My research is focussed on strongly correlated phenomena in ultracold atomic gases and transport in disordered superconductors. My PhD thesis, completed under the supervision of Ben Simons in the Theory of Condensed Matter Group at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, explored collective phenomena in ultracold atomic gases, itinerant ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, and multivalley semiconductors.
