Biography

(last update: August 2018)

 

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile!

I am a PhD candidate at the 海角社区, working with Prof Antony Lewis and Dr Julien Carron on CMB cosmology. At the moment I am working on constructing an optimal lensing reconstruction pipeline for the Simons Observatory and generally future CMB experiments. The slides from my recent talk about this project can be found . 

Previously, I worked on analysing Planck data to detect the signature the Rayleigh scattering of the CMB left on it shortly after the recombination era. 

Last year I gave a talk about these projects, slides can be found . I also gave a popular talk about CMB cosmology and my work in the Simons Observatory collaboration in the 1st , the slides from this talk are available .

 

I obtained my MSc in Physics at Tel Aviv University. I was working with Prof Yoel Rephaeli and Dr Meir Shimon on . Slides from my thesis talk at Tel Aviv University's Astro Seminar can be found . Our paper on the subject can be found . Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this.

 

My BSc in Physics was also obtained at Tel Aviv University. For my Final Year Project I gave a 20-minutes (pre-detection, so not up-to-date). During the last year of my BSc I worked with Dr Or Graur on high-redshift supernovae detection. I spent long hours looking for (transplanted and real) Supernovae in Hubble Deep Space images using DS9/matlab/python to assess detection rates. I slightly contributed to .
