Background
I am a PhD candidate at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, a registered nurse, and a researcher working at the intersection of human factors science, space medicine, and clinical system modelling. My central question is how humans and teams interact with technology, maintain performance, and manage error in environments that push them to their limits — from emergency departments and operating rooms to the extreme isolation of deep space.
My clinical career spans paramedic work in EMS, emergency nursing, operating room practice, and community care. Between 2015 and 2020, I served as a diplomat with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, posted in Astana and Shanghai — an experience that sharpened my interest in cross-cultural health systems and international emergency preparedness. I also serve as an active reserve medical officer in the military.
I write for both academic and general audiences, and I peer-review for Human Factors in Healthcare, Nursing Outlook, The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, and several other journals.
