I am a research fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Ben Gurion University of the Negev. My research is focussed on strongly correlated phenomena in ultracold atomic gases and transport phenomena 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, focused on itinerant ferromagnetism, which was followed up by the first putative experimental realization of itinerant ferromagnetism in an ultracold atomic gas.

Further information can be found in a synopsis of my research, some recent talks, posters, and the publications listed below.
