Thoughts about the work and in its vicinity

My teaching spans the core curriculum of materials science and electrochemistry at the undergraduate level, covering physical metallurgy, materials structure, corrosion and protection, surface coatings, and nanotechnology. Laboratory instruction has been a consistent part of this work — from general chemistry to advanced characterization techniques including SEM and EDS. I have been recognized as Lecturer of the Year by the university rector’s committee on six occasions (2010, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019), with consistent above-average student evaluations throughout my time at Ariel University.

Research supervision

I have supervised fifteen graduate students to completion — ten at the M.Sc. level and five at the Ph.D. level. Two students are currently active: Lejalem Abeble Dagnaw (Ph.D.) and Getachew Gebremariam Berhe (M.Sc.).

Educational materials

Published laboratory manuals cover introductory materials science and corrosion (2009–2015, co-authored with A. Kossenko). In 2026 I published Electrochemical Impedance for Electrochemists: A Practical Introduction (Zenodo, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19151752) — a self-contained text aimed at practitioners rather than theorists. A Hebrew-language course summary in materials science is currently in preparation.
