Hanna Bishara

Hanna Bishara is a Senior Academic Staff member at the Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Tel Aviv University. Her research focuses on microstructural characterization and properties of metallic alloys, particularly examining grain boundary effects on electrical resistivity, thermoelectric materials, and dislocation dynamics.

Research interests span advanced materials characterization, grain boundary engineering, and the interplay between microstructure and electronic properties in metals and alloys. Her work combines experimental approaches (STEM, nanoindentation) with computational modeling to understand defect-induced property variations.

Recent publications highlight investigations into Heusler alloy microstructures, grain boundary resistivity mechanisms, Laves phase fracture behavior, and thin film texture control. Keywords across her work include materials science, electrical resistivity, thermoelectrics, grain boundary physics, and microstructure engineering.

Ongoing efforts address multiscale conductivity analysis, defect manipulation for performance enhancement, and fundamental studies of intermetallic phase stability at nanoscale dimensions.
