Bio
Ariela Donval
Liran is a persistent researcher, accomplished his MSc research partially within NES consortium and in collaboration with Kilolambda. Liran started the project as a fresh undergraduate student with very little knowledge in optics. Showing a great motivation, he studied the new area and achieved innovative results in his thesis research. Liran has good combination of skills for research work and project leading, showing persistent and motivation for target achieving. Liran is also a great person to work with and has a friendly relationship with his colleagues.

Liran was hired for a research student position at POY plant and he worked under my guidance for more than a year and a half where he performed a research in the field of POY Nylon 6.6 fibers microstructure. Despite the fact the Liran was given a totally new topic (for him) he showed a great interest to learn and to gain the required expertise to perform the research and the tasks. Personally I find Liran as highly motivated, skilled and oriented engineer and, thus, I’d recommend Liran to any organization.

2009 - 2011
Thesis topic: Compounding and Orienting Nanofibers for the Formation of Transparent Optical coatings. http://www.graduate.technion.ac.il/Theses/Abstracts.asp?Id=26492 As a M.Sc graduate in chemical engineering, I have successfully dealt with the development of an optical application, aimed to control the power of light, from the research stage to the lab production stage of the device. During my research work, I effectively functioned in a number of different areas: lab management and logistics; material selection for the desired application (solvents, polymers, reinforcement material, etc.) and creation of stable dispersion; film and device manufacture. All stages of research were accompanied with characterization and testing of the material in hand.
