During her PhD in at the Biomolecular Science department at Weizmann Institute of Science, she underwent wet-lab training as a chronobiologist. Over time, her interests evolved toward understanding the broader processes of science-making and knowledge production. As a postdoc at the Center for Digital Humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, she studied contemporary history of science using digital archives, such as Wikipedia.

Currently, she is continuing this work and developing automated tools to expand her research as a postdoc in at the Weizmann Institute's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics department, while also serving as an associate research fellow at Paris's Research Center Interdisciplinaires.

Through these efforts, Rona is committed to advancing interdisciplinary research and contributing to a deeper understanding of how knowledge is shaped and disseminated in the digital age.
