I'm a Postdoctoral fellow at the Operations Management and Statistics department, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

My research focuses on congested systems by empirically exploring its implications on operational performance and examining mechanisms to alleviate it. In recent years I have spent most of my time examining the court system as a fertile ground for congested systems' research and a channel for social impact by improving access to justice.

I earned a PhD in Operations Strategy, an MBA, and a BA in Economics from Tel-Aviv University. Prior to academia, I worked for over a decade in a management consulting firm, forming and leading improvement processes in large-scale international organizations.
