Awards 2018

Achievements of Researchers:

Prof. Beena Kalisky who heads the lab for magnetic sensitive measurements at the Department of Physics, was selected by Globes magazine as one of Israel’s 50 most influential women of 2018, for her construction of a unique microscope enabling scientists to observe and photograph the quantum world, which will advance research and development of new drugs.

Prof. Doron Aurbach of the Department of Chemistry, head of the Electrochemistry group, received the 2018 Eric and Sheila Samson Prime Minister’s Prize, the world’s largest monetary award in the field of alternative fuels − a source of pride and honor for the entire national and international energy research community, as well as for BIU.

Prof. Dror Fixler was appointed as an associate editor of the IEEE Photonics Journal. Prof. Fixler’s recent work, highlighted in Advanced Science News, is an innovative optical method for attaining highly accurate clinical physiological measurements of cylindrical tissues, such as earlobes, lips, and fingertips.

Prof. Moshe Deutsch, Professor Emeritus of Physics, and a member of BINA, is also a former head of the Division of Exact Sciences and Technology in the ISF (Israel Science Foundation), and of the National Synchrotron Committee of the Israel Academy of Sciences.
