Academic Biographical Information:

During my PhD, done at Bar-Ilan University under the supervision of Prof. Moshe Deutsch, I studied the physics of liquid interfaces, employing synchrotron radiation scattering techniques and classical methods of experimental thermodynamics. Later, I switched into real-space microscopy of colloidal suspensions, as a postdoctoral research associate at the group of Prof. David Weitz (Harvard). Currently, I combine my expertise in optical microscopy and my background in physics of liquid interfaces to study the behavior of colloids and emulsions, where fundamental physics meets chemistry and material engineering.

Research Topics:

• Experimental studies of phase transitions in colloids.
• Quantitative real-time 3D confocal microscopy, holographic optical tweezing, and light scattering techniques.
• Crystal nucleation.
• Non-crystalline solids: structural measurements to reveal the physics of glass formation.
• Interfacial phenomena in colloidal and molecular systems.
