Warm congratulations to Daniella Bar-Lev for winning the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Postdoctoral Award for Women in Mathematical and Computing.
The award is intended to support promising Israeli female researchers who wish to pursue a post-doctorate in the field of mathematics, science and engineering, in international institutions, with the future goal of increasing the number of faculty members in Israeli universities. To achieve this goal, the award provides opportunities for Israeli female researchers to gain research experience abroad and establish their position in the global research community.
Daniella will soon finish her studies for a PhD under the guidance of Prof. Tuvi Etzion and Prof. Eitan Yaakobi. Her research deals with DNA-based storage systems with an emphasis on algorithms and advanced coding methods for correcting errors, reducing errors, and building algorithms to restore and retrieve information stored in DNA strips.
Great pride!!

On the 11th May 2022, invited by Prof. Pengwan Chen, Prof. Eitan Yaakobi of Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) visited BIT and gave a lecture entitled “Is Adiabatic Shear Failure Really Adiabatic?”.
Eitan’s research fields contain experimental mechanics, materials mechanics and impact dynamics. In this talk, he presented the experimental results on the evolution of temperature and microstructure of materials. He and his group proposed a new behavior’s law on the adiabatic shear failure based on the dynamically stored energy of cold work.
