Biographical sketch
Born in Moscow, I graduated from the famous
444th Mathematical High School.
After immigration to Israel, I received B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, working with
Baruch Meerson. In 2004 - 2007, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the
Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics, working with Leonard Sander. In August 2007, I joined the Department of Physics at Oakland University.
I am married and have two great children.
