faculty member

My research interests are human resilience (international/societal, community, and individual resilience), as well as human factors aspects of human behavior, and more specifically driver behavior.

I am an organizational and cognitive psychologist, a senior
researcher at the Institute of Information Processing and Decision Making, Ergonomic
& Human Factors Unit, University of Haifa, Israel, and at the Stress and Resilience
Research Center at Tel Hai Academic College, Israel. I also serve as a lecturer at
the Psychology Department, Tel Hai academic College.

2. Transportation preferences and risk assessment during Coronavirus time. With Prof. Gil Luria. 
3. Physiological correlates of stress recovery in realistic setting as a putative marker for individual resilience. With Prof. Shaul Kimhi & Dr. Roee Admon. 
4. Smart wearable sensors for monitoring stress and load in driving tasks. With Prof. Gil Luria, Prof. Hossam Haick, & Erez Kita.
