Prof. Halabi received his PhD from Haifa University. He joined the department of behavioral sciences at Tel-Aviv-Yaffo Academic College after completing his post-doctoral studies at University of Connecticut. Additionally, he is a research affiliate in CHIP in the university of Connecticut and in Yale university. His research focuses on intergroup helping processes.
