Team

I am lucky to work with some of the best students at the Hebrew University. My team works on a diverse array of projects, some delving into complex legal issues in Israel and abroad, others learning to design and run lab and field experiments, analyze big data, or all of the above. For my current team, check out Project EmpiriCon‘s website.
