I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ariel University, Israel, working with Prof. Sergey Bondarenko. My research focuses on the interface between gravity and quantum theory — particularly in understanding how semiclassical and quantum features of spacetime manifest at different physical regimes.
At heart I am driven by foundational questions. What does it mean for spacetime to acquire microstructure at the Planck scale? Can semiclassical consistency already hint at the rules of full quantum gravity? These puzzles guide my day‑to‑day calculations — whether I am tracking how extrinsic curvature corrects horizon entropy via a covariant Wick rotation, or showing that tidal components of the Riemann tensor set universal bounds on gravitational decoherence.
Beyond the equations I value open collaboration, clear communication, and the creative playfulness that theoretical physics affords. Whether in seminars, conferences, or impromptu whiteboard sessions, I see research as a collective endeavour: refining our questions is often as illuminating as chasing the answers.
