Mordechai Segev

Mordechai "Moti" Segev (מרדכי 'מוטי' שגב) is an Israeli physicist at the Technion who studies lasers , non-linear optics , solitons and quantum optics .

Segev studied physics at the Technion in Haifa with a bachelor's degree in 1985 and a doctorate in 1990. He then worked as a post-doctoral student at Caltech . In 1994 he became Assistant Professor, 1997 Associate Professor and 1999 Professor at Princeton University . In the summer of 1998 he went back to Israel and became a professor at the Technion. There he is Trudy and Norman Lewis Professor of Physics .

He discovered photorefractive spatial solitons and incoherent solitons (or random-phase solitons ) in the 1990s , which he found as a phenomenon of self-trapping in incoherent white light (like that of lightbulbs), and he was the first to find solitons in one two-dimensional grid. He was the first to demonstrate Anderson localization in a perturbed periodic table.

In 2009 he received the Max Born Award . From 1995 to 1997 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . He is a fellow of the American Physical Society (2000) and the Optical Society of America . In 2007 he won the Quantum Electronics Prize of the European Physical Society. He has been a member of the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities since 2011 . In 2014 he was awarded the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize for Laser Physics and the Israel Prize in the Exact Sciences category, and the EMET Prize in 2019 . In 2015 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences .

In 2010 he was Carl Zeiss Visiting Professor at the University of Jena .

Marin Soljačić is one of his doctoral students .
