Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow with Otto X. Cordero at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with funding from the Simons Foundation, the Center for Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet (C-CoMP), and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. I completed my PhD in Chemistry in 2020 at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, under the supervision of Michael M. Meijler.
