„It’s time for us queer scientists to change the face of research and promote LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in STEM”.

Originally from Tel-Aviv, currently living in Berlin, and soon moving to the San Fransisco Bay Area, Aviv is an incoming bioengineering PhD student at Stanford University. Before turning to bioengineering, Aviv studied biophysics and worked as a research assistant at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Aviv also has previous experience as a queer youth counselor, a mentor for high-school students with migratory backgrounds, and a co-founder of a community organization. As part of our LGBTQ+ STEM Berlin core team, Aviv helps with the development of queer STEM initiatives and the organization of our events. Once in the US, he will serve as our coordinator for collaborations with partner queer STEM organizations, universities, and research institutes.
