Biography
Dr. Ines Zucker is an assistant professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering and Porter School of Environmental and Earth Sciences at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Dr. Zucker holds a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering, an M.Sc. degree in Materials and Nanotechnologies Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering with expertise in Environmental Engineering, all from Tel-Aviv University. Alongside these diverse educational experiences, Ines completed her postdoctoral training at Yale University in the field of environmental applications and implications of nanotechnology.
Using a wide skill set combining material synthesis and structure-property characterization with a world-class exposure to analytical chemistry and water treatment tools, the Zucker Lab is involved in the design, preparation, characterization, and testing of nano- and bio-materials for environmental applications, especially in the water-agro nexus. Dr. Zucker also focuses on quantifying the risk of engineered and incidental nanomaterials (including nanoplastics) on the environment and identifying future areas of research necessary to realize the safe deployment of promising nanomaterial applications.
