Participated in the Technion Excellence Program: 2004 - 2007.
Ira changed her curriculum to suit her needs. She included advanced courses in her curriculum, without taking the preliminary courses needed for them. Ira included interdisciplinary studies - courses from the Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science faculties that were not in the recommended curriculum. She also conducted a research project after her first year, as well as another during her last year.
Recommendation to Program participants: "Study out of the love to science and technology, not because it's obligatory. Smart people can manage well without a degree".
