Research Interests: His work explores foundational aspects of set theory, including the structure of ultrafilters, combinatorics at singular cardinals, and the implications of forcing axioms. He investigates problems related to the Galvin property, Magidor-Radin forcing, and the behavior of cardinal arithmetic under large cardinal assumptions.

Publication Trends: His recent articles emphasize interactions between ultrafilter theory, forcing, and cardinal arithmetic. Key themes include the Tukey structure of ultrafilters, saturation properties in inner models, and applications of combinatorial principles to singular cardinals.

Teaching: He has taught courses such as Mathematical Logic, Set Theory, and Introductory Linear Algebra at Rutgers and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Past affiliations include Tel Aviv University, where he instructed linear algebra and set theory courses.
