custom research tools.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Teaching Assistant
Ben-Gurion University
of The Negev
2019-2023

Teaching assistant in the course “Plant Stress Indicators: Methods and
Instrumentation.” As part of my role, I taught in English about plant
measurement methods and provided guidance on the use of various
instruments

Lead – Spectral Analysis and Instrumentation
Gilat Research CenterARO
2022-2025

Development of the spectral analysis domain for mineral detection in plant
samples using FT-NIR and EDXRF instruments. As part of my work, I
developed operating protocols for the instruments, wrote applications (R
Shiny, Python) for data management, and led the implementation of the
instrumentation
