Profile
Hello, I'm Avital.
I'm a practical mechanical engineer who specialises in metallurgy and failure analysis: finding out why materials and parts fail, and how to stop it happening.
I trained at the Air Force Technical School in Haifa and spent seven years in the Israeli Air Force, first in the metallurgical lab and then as a process engineer for aerospace parts. Since then I've worked as a metallurgist in a leading laboratory, and today I lead quality at Aero-Magnesium.
Born a Berdichevsky.
