Amnon Aharony
Amnon Aharony (* 1943 ) is an Israeli physicist who studies statistical mechanics and solid state physics.
Aharony studied mathematics and physics at the Hebrew University with a bachelor's degree in 1964 and a master's degree in 1965 (thesis: The distorted wave Born approximation for direct nuclear reactions ) and received his doctorate in 1972 from Tel Aviv University (dissertation: Aspects of time reversal symmetry violation ). In between he did research for the Israeli army from 1965 to 1972 and was also an instructor at Tel Aviv University. As a post-doctoral student , he was a Fulbright Fellow at Cornell University from 1972 to 1974 and also at Harvard University (1974), the University of California, San Diego (1975) and Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill (1975). In 1975 he became associate professor and 1979 professor at Tel Aviv University, where he retired in 2006. He was then a professor at Ben Gurion University until 2013 , where he was visiting professor from 2003 to 2006.
1979/80 he was visiting professor at Harvard, 1980, 1986 and 1988 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 1987 at Boston University , 2007 and 2011 at the NTT in Japan and 2006 at the University of Tokyo. From 1987 to 2012 he was adjunct professor at the University of Oslo . From 1976 to 1986 he was a consultant at IBM Research (in Zurich and Yorktown Heights) and from 1989 to 2000 at MIT.
Aharony deals with phase transitions and critical phenomena, disordered systems and anomalous diffusion , high temperature superconductors , fractals , mesoscopic physics, percolation theory and spintronics .
In 1984 he received the Landau Prize , in 1993 the Weizmann Prize, in 2000 the Rothschild Prize and in 2003 the Humboldt-Meitner Prize and the Norwegian Randers Prize. In 2012 he became a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences . In 1985 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2011 . He is an external honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an external member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences .
