Hi,

​

I am a postdoc fellow at the School of Public Health and the Haifa Center on the Politics of
Inequality at the University of Haifa.

​

My research focuses on sustainable transport policies and planning and their implications for equity. Several of my current projects include understanding how vulnerable populations adapt their travel behavior in face of climate change; walking behavior across different built environments; the role of bicycle groups in promoting cycling; the travel and mobility of vulnerable populations; and nudging toward sustainable travel behavior. These studies serve to evaluate the outcomes that policy and planning produce as well as inform future policy and practice. In conducting my research, I build on my interdisciplinary education in urban planning, geography, and political science and employ a mix of advanced geospatial, quantitative, and qualitative methods.

​

I have a Ph.D. in urban and regional planning from the University of Michigan. I received my M.A. in geography and B.A. in geography and political science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
