Christine is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technion, focusing on the development of highly porous 3D polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering application.
She completed her B.Sc. dual degree program in Materials Science & Engineering and Chemistry, at Technion in 2011. She continued for M.Sc degree in Materials Engineering department. Her M.Sc. research was focused on developing “Dual-lock” shape memory polymers via emulsion templating. (2013)
In 2018, she finished her Ph.D. degree in the Grand Technion Energy program, her research focused on the development of Ni-Si-Chitosan composites with very high surface areas, and their encapsulation in inorganic oxides to produce Ni-based catalysts for methane dry reforming reaction. The polymer acts as a Ni-carrier and stabilizer, and as a template for high porous metal oxides.
