Coming Full Circle: From Technion Student to Professor
Interactive Virtual Event
Featuring Assistant Professor and Zuckerman Faculty Scholar Arielle Fischer ’11, Ph.D. ’16
Arielle Fischer ’11, Ph.D. ’16 is the embodiment of excellence. As a young soldier in the Israeli Air Force, she served with distinction, winning several awards, including the Second Lebanon War Medal. She then excelled in her academic pursuits. Now, after earning all three degrees at the Technion and conducting postdoctoral research at Stanford, she is fulfilling a life-long ambition — returning to the Technion with a lab of her own.
Join us for an interactive virtual event exclusively for the Midwest ATS community. Asst. Prof. Fischer will share her personal and academic journey since she last visited ATS supporters as a doctoral student. As a newly minted Technion faculty member, she’ll talk about her work to create biomedical applications, including high-tech sensors and smart wearable devices for artificial joints and neuromuscular disorders.
