Tom is a physics master student and joined the group in June 2022. He investigates how optically driven circularly polarized (chiral) phonons produce effective magnetic fields in crystalline solids, using a combination of theoretical and computational methods. Tom obtained his B.Sc. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
