Education
1/2012-Today: Post doctorate at the Weizmann Institute. Faculty of Chemistry,
department of Environmental Sciences and Energy Research. A field laboratory to
investigate the tradeoffs among water use, carbon sequestration and radiation
budgets in semi-arid region during climate change.
11/2006 – 12/2011: Ph.D student, agriculture meteorology, soil, water and
environmental science, Hebrew University. Teaching assistant in the Hebrew
university, course of agriculture meteorology.
Research topic: Application of the Eddy covariance technique for ET measurements
in protected agriculture environments.
The research included field measurements in banana and pepper screenhouses.
Data was analyzed and processed (boundary layer above crops, turbulence, radiation
and plant physiology) using MATLAB software.
8/2003 – 2/2006: M.Sc in Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture Hebrew University.
Teaching assistant in the Hebrew university, courses of animal physiology, zoology
and histology.
Research topic: Production and Health of Cows Given Monensin Prepartum
and a High-Energy Diet Postpartum.
10/1999 – 6/2002: B.Sc in Life Science, Ecology major, Ben-Gurion university
