Ziv is a Fulbright Postdoc Fellow in Levy Decision Neuroscience Lab & Harpaz-Rotem Stress and PTSD Lab at Yale University. He received his B.Sc. in Biology and in Psychology with an emphasis on Neuroscience (Summa Cum Laude) from the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel-Aviv University in 2015. In 2020, he completed an Interdisciplinary Direct Ph.D. in Neuroscience program under the supervision of Prof. Talma Hendler, at the Sagol Brain Institute, Tel-Aviv University and Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Ziv’s Ph.D. research focused on uncovering neural and cognitive moderators of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptom trajectories. In his postdoc at Yale, under the mutual supervision of Prof. Ifat Levy & Ilan Harpaz-Rotem, he aims to to further elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying anxiety- and stress-related disorders, in order to advance novel mechanism-based treatments and improved clinical outcomes for individuals suffering from these debilitating disorders.
