David was a joint postdoctoral researcher in the Hocky and Rojas labs at NYU. His research interests are in the development of computational and analytical models for complex biochemical processes. At NYU, he was integrating experimental techniques developed in the Rojas lab, together with computational advances from the Hocky lab, to characterize the mechanisms of activation of mechanosensitive ion channels in bacteria cells. Before moving to NYC, he worked at the TAU in Israel, describing molecular transport in complex fibrous environments. He obtained his Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Klumpp, where they studied the effects of molecular crowding on enzymatic reactions, protein folding, and gene expression.
