Academic Background

A Ph. D. degree from the Mechanical Engineering Dept. of the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, majoring in Higher Order Finite Element techniques, asymptotic solutions for partial differential equations and numeric methods for elliptical equations in a singular linear environment.

Professional Background

Dr. Netta Omer earned her Ph.D. from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Ben-Gurion University, focusing on "Edge Stress Intensity Functions in 3-D Domains" for her thesis. Her professional experience includes significant roles in the industry, involving the development and design of testing and calibration systems at Applied Materials, and the creation of algorithms for image processing during her employment at the Israel Aerospace Industries. Since October 2008, Dr. Omer has been a valued member of Afeka Tel-Aviv Academic College of Engineering's Mechanical Engineering Department. Notably, she served for four years as the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department from October 2012 to October 2016.

Dr. Omer's areas of specialization and interest are broad, covering High Order Finite Element Methods, Fracture Mechanics, Singularities, Elliptic PDEs, Edge Stress/Flux Intensity Functions, Stress Intensity Factors (SIF), and Generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC). These areas underscore Dr. Omer's dedication to both the academic and theoretical aspects of mechanical engineering.
