My professional activities:
Head of Computer Science Academia & Industry Project
at Davidson Institute of Science Education (jointly with Dr. Bruria Haberman)
Currently Teaching at Bar-Ilan University at the School of Engineering (From 2004- to present)

 

My main domain of interest:
Human-Computer Interaction
Computer-based Visualization
Modeling and Simulation
Visualization of  data
Computer Science and Engineering Education

 

My Ph.D. study:
My Ph.D. research focused on Visualization Environment for Computer Architecture. In the framework of my research I develop research methods for mental model elicitation and for visual analysis of qualitative research data that can be applied in Human Computer interaction research domain.
My advisors were Prof. Mordehai Ben-Ari & Prof. Tommy Dreyfus.
