I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Political Philosophy at University College London, where I am jointly appointed in the Department of Philosophy and the European and International Social and Political Studies (EISPS) programme. I live in London with my wife, Noa.
I work at the intersection of politics, law, and economics, exploring how the design of real-world institutions both shapes and reflects core philosophical questions about, among others, equality, freedom, and authority. Much of my research focuses on the philosophy of competition, political change, democratic theory, and the normative limits of markets. I also write on contemporary Israeli politics, with a focus on national security and the rise of right-wing populism.
Alongside my academic work, I have experience in politics and the civil service, and I write regularly for Haaretz and other publications in Israel, the UK, and the US.
Before joining UCL, I was the Rank-Manning Junior Research Fellow in Social Sciences at New College, Oxford. I hold a DPhil in Political Theory from Oxford, an MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy from the LSE, an LL.B from Tel Aviv University, and a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Arts, also from Tel Aviv.
