Developing a model of algal bloom using maritime observatory sensors.

• Describing the dynamics of macromolecular model during growth and death of Prochlorococcus.• Statistical analysis of physiological parameters to describe chlorotic sub-population cells. • Study dataset from seasonal cruises to understand the effect of biotic and abiotic factors on marine bacterial communities.

• Developing methods to characterize and parameterize senescence and mortality in Prochlorococcus.• Coordinating and conducting research annual cruises in the Mediterranean Sea, for collecting samples from a depth profile to measure the relative contribution of Prochloroccus to the phytoplankton community in association with stress and mortality.

Coordinate the implementation of PURE-Research Information management System at the University of Haifa.

• Responsible for establishing the microbiology lab from inception including necessary infrastructure.• Development of work methodologies for the social bacteria, Paenibacillus spp. as part of a multi-disciplinary team.• Participate in the design of a DNA-microarray chip and performed diverse experiments for investigating bacterial response to antibiotics. • Developed and applied advanced analytical methods to extract meaningful information from transcriptomic data.• Mentor students in the lab, teach and provide guidance in their research projects.
