Dr. Albo Asaf Faculty of Engineering Study and Design of Novel Optoelectronic/Electronic Quantum Devices and Materials Research Areas • Quantum engineering & devices • Thermophotonic devices • Novel optoelectronic materials & devices • Transport in nanostructures • Semiconductor heterostructures • Terahertz quantum cascade lasers Abstract The main interest of my group is the study and design of novel optoelectronic/ electronic quantum devices and materials. We combine modeling, device design and fabrication, various characterization techniques, and novel materials and structure synthesis. Ultimately, we wish to identify and harness novel quantummechanical physical phenomena into realworld technology.

Dr. Alon Shahar Faculty of Engineering Spatial Genomics Group Research Areas • Neuro-genomics • Cancer genomics • RNA complexity Abstract Research in the Spatial Genomics group includes a combination of technology development, data analysis, and experimental work that aims at developing new insights into learning and memory, neurological diseases, and cancer biology. Spatial genomics is a new field that seeks to map the physical position of millions of RNA molecules in cells and tissues and correlate them to normal and pathological conditions. We developed a technology for RNA sequencing inside tissues, which allows us to study RNA molecules with unprecedented precision. We use this technology to unravel how molecular content is stored within cells in space to understand the function of complex tissues.
