Professional Experience
• 2018-2022- PhD graduate research student, Colorado State University: Research thesis: “Landscape Evolution of the Colorado Front Range during the Late Cenozoic”. In this research, I investigate the tectonic geomorphology of the Colorado Front Range since the late Cenozoic using a blend of field mapping, digital topographic analysis, river analysis, geochronology, and numerical modeling.
• 2018- Geological consultant, Ecolog Engineering Ltd: Geological consultancy, including field mapping and measurements, natural hazards mapping, GIS, report writing, collaborations with engineers, hydrologists, and governmental staff.
• 2014-2016- MSc graduate research student, University of Haifa: Research thesis: “The Geomorphology and Morphotectonics of the Jordan Valley Fault”. In this research, I explored the relationship between landscape changes and tectonic activity using photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS tools on aerial photographs, satellite images, and high-resolution imagery.
• 2013 - Geological consultant, Dr. Uzi and Boaz Saltzman Geology and Rock Engineering Ltd: Drilling and boreholes oversight, geological and environmental analysis (logs, field trips, site map planning, spatial correlation), work collaborations with contractors, engineers and site managers during managing construction sites.
• 2010-2012- MSc research graduate student, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem: In this research, I explored dry and wet granular media dynamics in earthquakes and fault gauges. The study was conducted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with an internship at Texas A&M University, and included numerical modeling, geophysical simulations and statistical analyzes.
