I found the interaction between ice and antifreeze proteins a fascinating subject, and decided to pursue my Ph.D while studying these proteins with Prof. Ido Braslavsky at the Hebrew University (Rehovot campus). I started my post-doc at NYU's Chemistry department on October 2014, working with Profs. Michael Ward and Bart Kahr on two projects - (1) identifying synthetic ice growth inhibitors and (2) studying how does the exchange between H2O and D2O affect ice growth dynamics.
On August 2017, I joined the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at Yeshiva University as a visiting assistant professor.
YU’s M.A. in Physics specializes in solving problems in classical and quantum information, mechanical, optical and electronic materials behavior, propagation of waves, biological matter, dynamics, statistical thermodynamics, and hardware and software development. These activities are of intrinsic interest from a fundamental point of view, and they are also geared toward applied physics and engineering.
Our master's in physics explores the fields of foundational and applied physics. It prepares students for careers in academia, industry, teaching, finance and entrepreneurship while also developing an artistic appreciation for observing nature from a physicist’s perspective. With robust knowledge of computer software and hardware development, our graduates secure rewarding jobs in the high-technology field, including developing their own high-

Physician Assistants (PAs) are medical professionals who diagnose disease, develop and implement treatment plans, perform surgical procedures, prescribe medications and often serve as a patient’s principal health care provider. PAs complete thousands of hours of medical training to become versatile and collaborative clinicians. They?practice nationwide, improving patient access to high-quality health care?in medical and surgical settings.?
