Warm congratulations to Alona Levy-Jurgenson 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.

Alona completed her studies for a PhD under the advisement of Prof. Zohar Yakhini. Her research involved deep learning for high-resolution images of cancerous tissues (digital pathology) as well as developing algorithms for data analysis in molecular biology.

Great pride!![Back to the news index]
