I am a postdoc at MIT, hosted by David Jerison. Between 2020-2022 I was a postdoc at the IAS, hosted by Peter Sarnak. I did my Ph.D. in the Technion, with Ram Band as my advisor. My field of research is mathematical physics.

A Quantum Graph
This gif shows the evolution of a wave function on a quantum graph.
In this plot we see |f(x,t)|^2 (the probability density) changing in time according to Schrödinger's equation, starting from a Gaussian of positive velocity.
Berry phase
How a continuous periodic change of edge lengths can "flip" an eigenfunction.
Left: closed path in the parameter space - possible edge lengths (L1,L2,L3) for which the star graph has eigenvalue equal to 1.
Right: The corresponding eigenfunction of eigenvalue 1, changing continuously with the edge lengths.
