Research interests: animal advocacy, promoting plant-based choices, possibly with AI, and alternative proteins.

As a Social Psychologist (Ph.D.) at Bar-Ilan University, I explore interventions to promote plant-based choices through research and scientific consultation to nonprofits such as ACE's recommended charity, the Good Food Institute (GFI).

Our work has been recognized in academia, with a publication in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, ranked 15th out of 228 in multidisciplinary psychology (93.3% percentile) according to the JCR and 19th out of 304 in social psychology (93.8% percentile) in SJR.

I was privileged to present at the ICSD, SPUDM, SJDM, SPSP, and the China Vegan Summit. I have also been a teaching assistant, tutoring a course on Statistics and Jamovi, a free and open-source software for data analysis. 

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with students and helping them develop their critical thinking and analytical abilities. The experience I gained designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and using various software tools helped me get valuable insights into behavioral science.

Skills: SPSS, Jamovi, and R.
