Summary

I received my PhD in Urban and Regional Planning from the Department of Architecture and Town Planning at the Technion, Haifa. My main academic interests include spatial dynamics of urban systems, the evolution of built up and open spaces, urban complexity and modeling. I am currently working on the analysis of travel behavior patterns based on the Israeli Smartcard database.
