I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Quantum Materials Laboratory (a.k.a Analytis Group) in the Physics department at UC Berkeley. My research focuses on various magnetic phenomena in quantum materials such as Weyl semimetals and frustrated magnets. Read my latest work on Co3Sn2S2 published in Nature Communications.
Thesis title: “Scanning SQUID On Tip microscopy of topological states of matter”
Thesis title: “Study of Vortex Dynamics in Type-II Superconductors by SOT microscopy”
Cryogenics, Scanning probe microscopy (both using and designing), micropipette handling and SQUID-On-Tip fabrication, nanofabrication and characterization, crystal growths, transport measurements, magnetic measurements, strain measurements, VdW materials manipulation.

Guiding groups of all ages (K-12 to seniors) and education levels (nonscientific to physics undergraduates) through physics exhibits at the Clore garden of science. Public speaking in both Hebrew and English about supreconductivity, the wonders of microscopy, superconductivity and topological phases.Writing about scientific subjects to the general public.
which provide free, accessible, proof-checked scientific knowledge to the public over the Facebook social platform.
Given as part of the Science at Cal lecture series.
Ideation, production and participation in the event Ask a Berkeley Scientist, together with the team of Science at Cal as part of the Bay Area Science Festival.
Participated as a scientist in the event Dinner with a Scientist, hosted by the Oakland Unified School District.
Writing about science news, science phenomena and answering questions.
A final project in physics as a substitute for an exam. Includes a small lab project and a final report submission.
The Davidson Institute is the educational arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Mentoring was ranged between small group mentoring during experiments, and tours of the scanning SQUID microscopy lab.
I was a group guide at the Clore Garden of Science, guiding groups and VIP visitors from the age of 6 to 60 (and probably older).
