I received a B.A and an M.A. in Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures from Tel Aviv University, Israel. I also received a B.A. in East Asian Studies from the same institution. While most of my studies focused on the languages and civilizations of the Ancient Near East, I also participated in numerous archaeological excavations all over Israel, directing several of them. Coming from an earlier computer programming background, I am also exploring diverse uses of Digital Humanities in facilitating and enhancing research in Assyriology and History.
My research focuses on Babylonian astronomy of the first millennium BCE, and the intersection between the practice of astronomy and its place in society. My dissertation examines a particular group of stars singled out by the Babylonians, which were employed as a time-reckoning device.
