I am a Professor of Statistics at the University of Haifa where I have been on the faculty since October 1999. I received my doctorate in Biostatistics from Harvard University in 1996, where my thesis advisor was the late and great Marvin Zelen. I also hold a M.S. degree in Statistics from Carnegie Mellon University (1992) and prior to that had been a medical student at Hadassah Medical School, the Hebrew University.

​

After my doctorate I was a visiting scholar at the University of Washington and a postdoc at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center followed by a short stint at Merck Research Laboratories in Rahway NJ.

​

My research has been supported by the U.S-Israeli Bi-National Science Foundation (BSF), the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I have held visiting positions at Merck Research Labs, Harvard University and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). I am an elected fellow of the International Statistical Institute.

 

I have guided students at the MS, PhD and Postdoctoral level. If you are interested in working with me as a doctoral student or postdoc please write me. A list of possible projects is available here.
