Researcher in the field of Agri-voltaic, and experienced plant physiologist
specializing in stress responses and analytical techniques. Proficient in spectral
instrumentation (FT-NIR, EDXRF), data analysis (R, Python), and developing
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
