A professor of physics at Queens College, CUNY, with 100+ peer-reviewed publications and a textbook on quantum mechanics and with broad interests beyond his field. He is also a member of CAFI—the CUNY Alliance for Inclusion, a faculty coalition combating antisemitism in academia. He writes about Israel, Jews, and the Academia by building rational arguments grounded in facts and history preferring reason over slogans, facts over partisanship. Politically, he describes himself as an Israel loving critical Zionist—supportive of Jewish self-determination and security, candid about Israeli policy failures, and a classical liberal with a libertarian bent. He supports Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression and opposes populist and illiberal trends in U.S. politics on the right (Trumpism) and on the left (the democratic-socialist wing of the Democratic Party)
