Meet Brian Welch, postdoc at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
Brian was drawn to do postdoctoral research in Israel – the first country to desalinate seawater and a global leader in the field – after he connected with an Israeli presenter at a conference on desalination at the University of Colorado. Since his doctoral research overlapped with hers, he suggested they work together. Prof. Tamar Segal-Peretz is now his supervisor at the Technion.
Zuckerman funded cutting-edge labs are accelerating STEM research at Israel’s top institutions. Zuckerman Faculty Scholars demonstrate leadership and overall excellence in innovative and award-winning research. Zuckerman scholarship draws the brightest young minds to pursue their research in Israel, and promotes collaboration with research groups globally.

Leadership
Advancing women in STEM
We continue to lead the way in advancing women in STEM at Israel’s academic institutions. and proudly continue to expand the community with significant partnerships and opportunities.
49% of Zuckerman scholars now enrolled in the program are women. Each female scholar is making an impact in her field, creating a larger group of peers, and easing the way for other women to be accepted.
Mortimer B. Zuckerman envisioned a shared future of scientific growth and collaboration for Israel and the United States
His initiative set in motion numerous tremendous academic alliances that have given hundreds of young researchers the opportunity to pursue the highest level of research in Israel and the United States.
