Biography

Climate change is making the global food supply more expensive and volatile, threatening our most basic human need. Through my PhD, I intend to look at the fallout, investigating how climate-driven food inflation could stall economic mobility for families and fuel political polarization. My path to this question began at Reichman University, where I studied Sustainability and Economics and joined the Economics Honors and Aviram Sustainability & Climate programs. Throughout my degree, I worked at a climatetech startup and a VC fund; in parallel, I became the first student in my faculty to publish peer-reviewed research, co-authoring a paper in a Nature Portfolio journal on digital twins and ocean conservation. From there, I consulted for financial institutions on climate-related risks and researched energy security and natural resource rehabilitation in Israel. I am now pursuing the MPhil in Economic Research as a Gates Scholar at Cambridge. Drawing on my experience across academia, the private sector, and policy research, I aim to produce work connecting climate and food policy to its downstream human consequences. I am deeply grateful to Gates Cambridge for the opportunity to pursue my PhD within this extraordinary community.
