Position at BGU: I am a marine ecologist working as an adjunct researcher in the lab of Ariel Kushmaro Dept of Biotechnology Engineering
Active research: in the Mediterranean: In the past I carried out studies on the effect of environmental stressors on a number of common invertebrate species.
Today I am taking part in a study led by Prof Kushmaro regarding the study of antibiofilm and antiquorum sensing materials originating from the Mediterranean Sea.
My aim is to research pollutants, in particular plastics, plasticizers and other oil based derivatives and study their effects on the physiology of Mediterranean invertebrate shore fauna.
