I am Associate Professor of Sociology, Director of the B.I. and Lucille Cohen Institute for Public Opinion Research, and Head of the Demography Research Lab at Tel Aviv University. I received my PhD from the University of Texas at Austin (2014) and was formerly Postdoctoral Fellow in Population Health at the London School of Economics (2015-2016). I have held visiting positions at the University of Oxford, Harvard University, Stockholm University, and the European University Institute.

As a sociologist and demographer specializing in social stratification and health, I study the social determinants of longevity and inequality in human lifespans. My research has been published in leading scientific journals including Science, JAMA, Demography, Population and Development Review, and the Journals of Gerontology.

My other research interests include quantitative methodology, environmental demography, and the sociology of knowledge and data production. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in population studies, theories of social stratification, and advanced statistical methods.
