Scientific director of the fish collection at the Faculty of Natural Sciences.

My PhD dealt with the society of Mullidae (Goatfish) in the Mediterranean. I was also a research assistant to Prof. Adam Ben-Tovia and participated in a study on the fishing in Bardawil Lake in North Sinai.

In the fish collection we focus on the migration and settlement of Red Sea fish in the Mediterranean. In this context, I conducted many gatherings in Sinai, the Mediterranean and also in neighboring countries such as Cyprus, Croatia and Greece.
10 years ago, I started collecting DNA samples for research purposes. For example, for the purpose of identifying species, and in recent years also deals with the comparison between Red Sea fish and fish in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

My intention is to continue with the researches on the subject of the Helaspesian migration of fish, which is the phenomenon of the migration of fish from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, a subject that excites me very much and on which I intend to write a book.
