Early life and education
editYoav 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 Artillery Corps of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Shechtman holds a BSc in Physics and Electrical Engineering (2007) and a PhD in physics (2013) which he acquired from the Technion. He later completed a postdoc at Stanford University (2016), developing super-resolution microscopy methods with W.E. Moerner.[3]
Academic career
editSince October 2016, Shechtman is a faculty member in the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology where he currently heads the Nano-Bio-Optics lab.[4][5]
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]
