Graduates tell

My name is Talia Israel Badash, I graduated with a bachelor's degree from the department of materials engineering in the structural materials track. I graduated in 2015 and since then I have been working in the aerospace industry in the field of quality engineering. As part of my role, I am responsible for special processes in the production line in the areas of thermal treatments, welding, non-destructive testing and surface treatments. The role of the quality engineer in an aviation factory includes compliance with international standards, maintaining a high production standard while finding effective solutions in the field and continuous improvement. My education in materials engineering gave me an understanding of processes that are the basis of aerospace manufacturing, which gives me a significant advantage in the field.Today I am completing a master's degree in the field of quality management and technology that complements the technical knowledge I acquired in my first degree.I remember the years of study in the department fondly, I left with extensive knowledge, good friends who accompany me today as colleagues in the industry and I even met my husband in the department :)

My name is Marina Lomberg. I completed my first and second degrees in the Department of Materials Engineering in 2008. In my first degree I studied electronic materials and in my second degree my research dealt with the phenomena that occur at the interface between ceramic and metallic materials (the research was under the supervision of Prof. Nahum Frega and Dr. Natalia Fromin and included collaboration with KMG )

After finishing my degree, I continued as a research and development engineer in a small company and then as a process engineer in a slightly larger company - Intel. After a few years in the industry, I decided to pursue a doctorate abroad. I received a grant for research in the field of renewable energies at the University of Imperial College London, and since then I have been living in England. Today I run an institute at the Sustainable Gas Institute -

​Now, 10 years after graduating from the department (how time flies!), I am still in warm personal contact with the lovely people in the department and also with friends from school.

I started my first degree in the materials engineering department in 2011 in the structural materials track. In the engineer project, I worked in a joint study between the Ministry of Defense and leading researchers from the USA in researching innovative processes of 3D printing of metals. As a direct continuation of the research, and with the encouragement of the supervisors, Prof. Nahum Frega and Dr. Aslan Miraev, I went on to a master's degree, during which I participated in a student exchange program in the USA.

The research in the university in general, and in particular in the research group, was always conducted in a good atmosphere and very professionally, working with people from whom I learned a lot and I am still in contact with them even today.

I finished my studies in 2017, and since then I have been working in a research and development position at the Orbotech company researching materials and processes of 3D printing for practical applications.​
