Orly Alter is an Israeli-American physicist and research associate professor in the field of bioengineering and human genetics. She has published several papers about her research in genomic signal processing and bladder and brain cancers. She is a professor at the University of Utah[1].

Education and career

edit

Alter began attending school at Tel Aviv University in Israel and graduated in October 1989 magna cum laude with her bachelors of science in physics.[citation needed] After receiving her undergrad, she began pursuing her Ph.D. in applied physics at the Stanford University in California, USA. She completed her Ph.D. with a thesis on “Quantum Measurement of a Single System," under the mentorship of Yoshihisa Yamamoto in January of 1999[2] and then moved onto a postdoctoral fellowship working with genetics, remaining at Stanford. Alter moved to the University of Utah in 2010.[3]

Research

edit

Alter has one published book named Genomic Signal Processing: Discovery of Principles of Nature from Matrix and Tensor Modeling of Large-Scale Molecular Biological Data.[4] She has contributed to a lot of research about genetics and physics. Alter has eighteen journal papers published along with nine technical reports. She also holds six patents in both the US and internationally. [1]

Alter's work on finding patterns in DNA finds predictors indicative of a woman's risk for ovarian cancer,[5] and she uses mathematical models to improve the outcomes for women with ovarian cancer.[6]

Awards and recognition

edit

In 2005 Alter was selected by the International Linear Algebra Society to give the Linear Algebra and its Applications Lecture.[7]
