Ellen Graber is an American-Israeli[1] research scientist in the field of environmental sciences. She is a senior scientist at the Volcani Agricultural Research Center (full professor equivalent), and is known for her work on biochar,[2] for which she received the "Scientist of the Year Award" in 2013.[1]In 2019, she began work on Cocoa tree resiliency, starting the Cocoa Cure Center within the Volcani Center.[3] Her work was interrupted by the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israel–Hamas war, which led her to abandon some of her seedlings for five months to the elements of the Negev Desert. Some of the samples survived, and are being studied for their resilient properties.[4]
