About myself:

I was born in 1988, and I am from Kiriat Bialik.

During high school, I participated in the "Archimedes project" at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion, which is a program intended for high school students, in which undergraduate courses (mainly in chemistry) are given. I consider it my first exposure to science.

Later on, I took part in two international chemistry competitions, held in South Korea and Russia, and even won a medal once.

In the army, I served in a technological unit, which showed me the more practical sides of science, mostly computers and electrical engineering. During my service, I also read books on physics and mathematics, which revealed a whole new world to me.

Hobbies and other activities: Swimming, jogging, playing basketball, playing tennis, travelling, reading, playing the piano, singing, doing nothing.
