ד"ר מירב טופול-עמרם

My name is Dr. Meirav Topol-Amram and I am currently the Head of the Mathematics Dept in Sami Shamoon College of Engineering in the Ashdod campus. Overall I have worked there for 9 years starting off as a lecturer. I am also married with 3 young children

After high school I carried out a 2 year mandatory military service in the IDF in civil defence. My academic studies were carried out in Bar-Ilan University throughout and I my post doc positions were in Erlangen-Nuernberg University, Hebrew University & Bar-Ilan University

I specialize in the field of algebra, geometry and algebraic geometry. Recently I have also started to specialize in the didactic aspect of teaching and student learning of mathematics
