What makes neuroscience the largest research area among Zuckerman Faculty Scholars?
Perhaps it is because the brain touches not only our hearts, but the entire span of our existence: mental, physical, and beyond. Zuckerman Faculty Scholars are bringing their expertise back to Israel, accelerating research and driving new breakthroughs.
Grants support Israel–U.S. collaborative scientific research.
Congratulations to Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty Scholars Danny Ben-Zvi, Einav Tayeb-Fligelman and Itay Raphael; Tel Aviv University Faculty Scholars Assaf Ramot and Dekel Rosenfeld; and University of Haifa Faculty Scholar Shani Stern.
Zuckerman funded cutting-edge labs are accelerating STEM research at Israel’s top institutions. Dr. Or Sharir, Zuckerman Faculty scholar at Technion, explores efficiency-driven approaches to machine learning with the objective of building a robust theoretical foundation for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of newly proposed architectures.

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.
44% 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.
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.
