Ph.D. 1985, Ben-Gurion University

​

Academic Position: Alexandre Yersin Department of Solar Energy and Environmental Physics - Professor

 

Director, Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Center

Research Interests: 

High-concentration photovoltaics. Production of nanomaterials using highly concentrated solar radiation. Application of non-imaging optics to illumination and irradiation problems in high-tech industry. Design of optics for concentrating solar collectors.

​

Research Projects:

High-flux infrared radiation and solar energy concentrators - approaching the thermodynamic limit to optical concentration with practical, compact devices. Tailoring illumination optical systems to prescribed flux distributions at maximum radiative efficiency. High temperature furnace design for production of inorganic nanomaterials by concentrated noncoherent light (solar or artificial light sources), in collaboration with JM. Gordon and Weizmann Institute.

​

Other interests: Solar cookers, construction and testing.
