Lishai Neuman ’19 is a Ph.D. candidate in the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research is focused on harnessing new materials for the development of novel nanoelectronics devices, and spans a wide range of topics, including material fabrication, design, and characterization. It involves state-of-the-art characterization tools, such as atomic-resolution microscopes and a particle accelerator. Lishai’s latest advance, published in Advanced Functional Materials in 2023, presented a route for manipulating the electric properties of a material by precise control of the distance between two adjacent atoms. This fine-tuning of the material’s properties is part of…
Omer Sabary ’18, M.S. ’20, is a Ph.D. candidate in the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science. He is also a 2023 Ilene & Steve Berger Technion Visiting Fellow, meeting with ATS supporters in the Northeast United States. Born and raised in Qiryat Atta, Omer served in the elite 8200 unit of the Israel Defense Forces as a techno-intelligence analyst team commander and intelligence director prior to his Technion studies. Currently, Omer is working on next generation DNA-based systems that could help solve the world’s digital storage crisis. He chose DNA as this storage medium for its durability…

Itai Massad ’17, M.Sc. ’18 is a Ph.D. candidate in the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry working in the research group of Distinguished Prof. Ilan Marek, chair of the soon-to-be-launched Stewart and Lynda Resnick Sustainability Center for Catalysis. He is also a 2023 Ilene & Steve Berger Technion Visiting Fellow meeting with ATS supporters in the the central cities of the U.S. His research specifically focuses on catalysis and its role in constructing complex organic molecules — the building blocks for all life forms — with the aim of finding sustainable routes toward important bioactive molecules. Itai has received numerous accolades…
Ido Han is pursuing his M.D. in the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, where he is a research assistant in Professor Sara Selig’s Laboratory for Molecular Medicine. He is also a 2023 Ilene & Steve Berger Technion Visiting Fellow, meeting with ATS supporters in the southeastern cities of the United States. The goal of his research is to explore whether a mutation that had never been described before caused a little girl to develop the genetic syndrome ICF2 (autosomal recessive immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies), which is characterized by immunodeficiency, intellectual deficit, and facial dysmorphism. Ido was born in the…
