Biographical

Past

I grew up in Derbyshire. There's some beautiful scenery nearby, well worth a visit if you happen to pass that way, and the weather is fine.

I used to go to Jesus College, Cambridge. While there, I studied physics at the Cavendish Laboratory.

I also used to go to Merton College, Oxford. From there I obtained a doctorate in theoretical astrophysics. My research work was done at the Rudolf Peierls Centre, and was supervised by James Binney.

After that, I studied clinical medicine at St Peter's College, Oxford and the Oxford University Medical School. I followed the four year programme.

Following qualification, I worked for two years as a Foundation doctor in the NHS, on the Oxford hospital circuit. I then moved to the State of Israel with my family. I spent a short time learning the Hebrew language, and then four years in residency training in general internal medicine at Meir Medical Center.

Present

I'm a medical doctor. I hold specialty certification in internal medicine. I work as a subspeciality fellow in respiratory medicine, and occasionally as an attending physician in internal medicine. I am based at Meir Medical Center. I sometimes have the great privilege of teaching medical students from Tel Aviv University.

Miscellaneous factoids

I have an Erdős number of 5. (how?)

Research

I used to research Galactic dynamics^[1]. However, I no longer work in this field.

I am always keen to use my skills on interesting medical research projects. If you think we could usefully collaborate, then get in touch.
