Associate Prof
Technion, Israel
Ido is an associate professor at the Technion’s Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He joined the Technion as an Azrieli Faculty Fellow in March 2018, after a postdoc at MIT as a Rothschild Fellow, MIT–Technion Fellow, and a Marie Curie Fellow. In his PhD, Ido discovered new classes of accelerating beams in nonlinear optics and electromagnetism, for which he received the 2012 Israel Physical Society Prize, and the 2014 APS (American Physical Society) Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Laser Science. Ido was the first Israeli to ever win an APS award for his PhD thesis. Ido was chosen to the list of 40 promising leaders under 40 by TheMarker and won multiple awards and grants recently including the ERC Starting Grant, 2021 Krill Prize, and the 2021 Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists in Israel. Ido was also recently elected to the Israeli Young Academy that promotes social and academic involvement in Israeli society.
Ido is a physicist that studies the foundations of quantum mechanics, the frontiers of Photonics, Quantum Optics, and Electron Microscopy by developing novel theoretical and experimental methods. He is the head of the AdQuanta Lab at the Technion, whose research leads to applications of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Their discoveries predict new phenomena that arise from engineering the wavefunctions of matter and of photons in specific ways that yield physical situations not encountered in natural settings. Ido’s lab employs femtosecond lasers in transmission electron microscopes for new kinds of experiments – they developed a unique microscope that combines record resolution in space & time. Their work on light–matter interactions in nanophotonics and in 2D materials is leading to disruptive applications for novel light sources and ultrafast detectors.
