Asra Damdam, Founder & CEO UVERA: Using Disruptive Tech To Tackle The Food Waste Crisis
)
I’ve been always passionate about science and technology and I loved exploration since a very young age, hence, I decided to study Electrical and Computer Engineering for my bachelor’s to learn how devices work and how can I build new devices. After completing my bachelor’s, I found myself wondering about how nanoelectronics works which is not the level of education covered in the bachelor’s level. Therefore, I decided to do my master's in electro physics and nanofabrication of silicon devices. It was a very enriching experience, I loved this field of science, and excelled in it and I received the L’Oreal UNESCO Award for Women in Science for my Reconfigurable Silicon Electronics research
