Previous research

Late PhD:

• RNA and DNA editing in mammalian genomes (computational biology, with Erez Levanon).
• Functionals of anomalous diffusion trajectories (statistical mechanics, with Eli Barkai).
• RNA processing in the Sleeping Sickness agent, Trypanosoma brucei (computational biology, with Shulamit Michaeli)

Early PhD:

• Analysis of large-scale networks such as the Internet and protein interaction networks (with Shlomo Havlin and others)
• Transport on random networks: percolation, diffusion, electrical conductance, flow, navigation, and disease spreading (with Shlomo Havlin, H. Eugene Stanley, Daniel ben-Avraham, and others).
