I am currently a postdoc at the Department of Mathematics at MIT, hosted by David Jerison.

Between 2020-2022 I was a postdoc member at the IAS, hosted by Peter Sarnak

I completed my Ph.D. at the Technion, under the supervision of Ram Band.

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.
