[2] Fialkov began her doctoral studies working in string cosmology, but then switched to theoretical radio astronomy.
Her studies have included works estimating the cosmic abundance of fast radio bursts,[3] and using observations of the 21cm hydrogen line to characterize the size and brightness of the earliest galaxies.
[5] She studied both physics and electrical engineering as an undergraduate at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, earning a double bachelor's degree in 2006.
She went to Tel Aviv University for doctoral study in the Department of Particle Physics, advised by Nissan Itzhaki and Rennan Barkana.
