Prof. Ido Kaminer completed his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Physics at Technion as part of the Psagot reserves program and the Rothschild Technion Excellence Program. He completed his MSc and PhD under the supervision of Dist. Prof. Moti Segev. Kaminer went on to do a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT, where he was hosted by Prof. Marin Soljačić and Dist. Prof. John Joannopoulos, with the support of the Marie Curie Fellowship, the Rothschild Fellowship, and the MIT-Technion Fellowship.

In 2018, Kaminer joined the faculty of the Technion Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering.

Over the years, Prof. Kaminer has received numerous additional awards and grants, including the Israeli Physics Society Graduate Student Award, Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award in Laser Science by the American Physics Society, Azrieli Faculty Fellowship and an ERC Starter Grant on behalf of the European Research Council.

Prof. Ido Kaminer and team have made a dramatic breakthrough in the field of quantum science: a quantum microscope that records the flow of light, enabling the direct observation of light trapped inside a photonic crystal.

The Technion PodQuantum- with Prof. Ido Kaminer

Asst. Prof. Anna Keselman, a theoretician who studies quantum materials, recently joined Technion’s Faculty of Physics after completing her postdoctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is in the process of establishing a new research group which will study a broad spectrum of quantum systems and quantum materials.
Prof. Keselman’s main interest lies in understanding phenomena that arise when particles interact with each other at very low temperatures, where their quantum properties are important. At Santa Barbara, she studied topological superconductors – materials that could serve as a platform for quantum computers (topological qubits) – but at the Technion her main focus will be studying strongly correlated electron systems.
