About
From planetary systems to the Milky Way.
I am a Senior Lecturer in the Astrophysics Group of the Department of Physics at Bar-Ilan University, where I lead a research group studying exoplanets, binary stars, and multiple-star systems in their Galactic context. Using large astronomical surveys, we study how these systems form, evolve, and differ across Milky Way populations. We also search for hidden compact objects, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, in binary systems, using their orbital properties to constrain compact-object formation and binary evolution.
I am also a research affiliate at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge.
Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Astrophysics Group, Cavendish Laboratory, supported by the Blavatnik Cambridge Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Open Positions
Join the group at Bar-Ilan.
There are open opportunities in the group for undergraduate research projects, MSc students, and PhD students interested in exoplanets, binary stars, multiple systems, or Galactic-context astrophysics. To discuss a possible project or position, please get in touch.
