About
“The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.”
I am a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Braude Academic College of Engineering in Israel. I received my B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where my doctoral research focused on propulsion and combustion of rocket and ramjet motors.
Over the years, my scientific interests gradually expanded beyond the study of physical systems. Alongside my academic work, I became increasingly interested in questions concerning the nature of subjective experience, consciousness, agency, and transformation processes.
This exploration included training and clinical practice in body psychotherapy and other healing approaches, alongside a longstanding contemplative practice grounded in meditation. These offered complementary ways of investigating aspects of reality that are difficult to access through intellectual observation alone.
Today, my work seeks to bring these perspectives together through engineering, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, combining theoretical models with empirical investigation to better understand and explain conscious, subjective experience in terms of scientific principles.
