Welcome to my website!

I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of California - San Diego, where I work on neuromorphic computing and correlated oxide materials. I study phase-transition systems like VO₂, V₂O₃, and other vanadates, exploring how their coupled electronic and thermal dynamics can enable unconventional computing architectures. My research combines nanofabrication, device engineering, and advanced thermal imaging to probe and control emergent behavior at the nanoscale - bridging fundamental condensed matter physics with next-generation hardware.

I completed my Ph.D. in May 2025 at the Department of Physics, Bar-Ilan University, where I explored quantum effects in superconducting nanostructures. My research focused on hybrid superconductor/ferromagnet structures and the emergence of triplet supercurrent driven by the long-range proximity effect.

My Goal

My goal is to bridge fundamental condensed matter physics with functional computing technologies by harnessing emergent phenomena in strongly correlated materials. I aim to develop adaptive, energy-efficient hardware inspired by the brain, where phase transitions, nonlinear dynamics, and thermal-electronic coupling are not limitations but resources. By combining precise nanofabrication, advanced thermal and electrical characterization, and device-level engineering, I seek to transform complex oxide systems into controllable platforms for next-generation neuromorphic and unconventional computing architectures.
