Ori Green
Principal Investigator Origreen@technion.ac.il
Ori Green completed his undergraduate studies at Tel-Aviv University in 2014, earning his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Ori Obtained both his MSc and PhD degrees in Organic Chemistry at Tel-Aviv University, working under the guidance of Professor Doron Shabat (2014-2020). In April 2020, he started a postdoctoral position at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, under the mentorship of Professor Bill Morandi, exploring new horizons in chemical methodologies. With a strong interest in the interface of chemistry with biology, Ori’s research program focuses on developing strategies for visualizing and sensing elusive analytes and developing techniques for chemical post-transitional modification. On March 2024, he has started his independent career as a tenure-track assistant professor at the Technion, Haifa, Israel (Israel Institute of Technology).
Elad Apel
Lab Manager
elad.apel@technion.ac.il
Elad holds a master’s degree in environmental engineering, significant experience and understanding of biological, chemical and engineering processes. As part of an independent startup for the treatment of solid cow waste, he developed a prototype and obtained government funding for research. Elad believes that we must create sustainable solutions to the environmental problems we have created over the years, understanding that without wise consumerism in parallel with the development of solutions, we will not be able to achieve the recovery of the environmental system. In the laboratory, he is responsible for the ongoing operation and engineering collaborations.
