Omar.
PhD in Nanotechnology & Chemical Engineering (Technion - IIT)
RO
I am highly passionate about science, entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership.
I completed my PhD candidacy in Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Chemical Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Throughout this period I was a fellow and steering committee member at the Ariane de Rothschild Women Doctoral Program. Additionally, I am deeply involved in fostering higher education in science and technology within the Israeli Arab community as a co-founder and volunteer manager of Alrowad-YASA (The Academic Unit of Alrowad). Furthermore, I contribute to the global promotion of STEM education as a mentor at the New York Academy of Sciences.
