Yoav Shechtman

Prof. Yoav Shechtman (Hebrew: יואב שכטמן; born March 17, 1980) is an Israeli physicist. He is currently a Harrington Faculty Fellow at The University of Texas after previously heading the Nano-Bio-Optics lab at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Yoav Shechtman is the son of Nobel Prize laureate Dan Shechtman.^[1][2]

Early life and education

Yoav Shechtman was born on March 17, 1980, to Tzipora and Dan Shechtman and spent his childhood growing up in Haifa.^[2]

From 1998 to 2001, Shechtman served in the

Shechtman holds a BSc in

In 2018, Shechtman and his team at the Technion developed an efficient method for bio imaging in super resolution.[6]

In 2021, Shechtman, in collaboration with Reut Orange-Kedem, developed a cheap and more efficient method for the production of more precise optical components.^[7]

In September 2023, Shechtman joined The University of Texas as a Harrington Faculty Fellow.^[8]
