Two researchers from the Department of Particle Physics, Dr. Ishay Pomerantz and Dr. Joe Taenzer, were selected for the first cohort of the Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program. This $100 million initiative aims to provide support to the next generation of STEM leaders in the United States and Israel. The program will give the highest-achieving Israeli faculty scholars and American post-doctoral researchers the ability to collaborate at Israel’s top research institutions – the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology; Tel Aviv University; and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
The program launch event was honored by Reuven Rivlin at the official residence of the President of the State of Israel.
Dr. Taenzer, a Zuckerman postdoctoral Scholar who earned his doctorate at the University of Toronto is involved in the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
Dr. Ishay Pomerantz, a Faculty Scholar, is newly recruited to TAU’s Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy after completing a post-doc at the University of Texas at Austin.
