Professional Experience

Planning, managing and carrying out interdisciplinary projects in which non-destructive testing and applied geophysical methods which are combined for applications in geology, engineering geology, neotectonics, geohydrology, environment and archeology. Professional specialty: GPR investigations.

Scientific award

1998 Scientific award from the Israel Mineral Science and Engineering Association, the Forth Conference, Israel 50^th Anniversary, 14-16 December 1998. The award was given for the study "Mapping of moisture content and structure of unsaturated sand layers with ground penetrating radar" submitted for the degree of M.Sc., and for fruitful applied works and researches that served the engineering community.

Publications

Note that this list does not include dozens of technical reports, commissioned by a series of universities, institutions, state departments and ministries, public and private companies as well as municipal authorities, that were carried out within the framework of my activities with Geo-Sense.
