Chairs
The Chana and Heinrich Manderman Chair in Optoelectronics
Incumbent: Prof. Emilia Fridman
The Kranzberg Chair in Signal Processing
Incumbent: Prof. Hagit Messser
The objective of the Kranzberg Chair is to encourage research on understanding and utilizing the fourth state of matter - plasma. Plasma is a gas which is ionized, i.e. electrons have been separated from some or all of the ions or molecules in the gas so that they can move independently through the gas, converting the gas from an insulator to a conductor. Currently research is being conducted to utilize plasma to deposit thin films and coatings for extending the life of cutting tools and lowering the cost of flat panel displays, generating nano-particles, stabilizing the orbit of spacecraft, and disinfecting water
The Bernard Schwartz Chair of Nanotechnologies of Information
Incumbent: Prof. Yosi Shacham
