My Note: I'm going to post some of the web information on the EU, IBM, Israeli, Terahertz Consortium, TeraTOP, from time to time, starting with Technion
Technion
General description
Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (IIT) is the first and largest Technical Institute in Israel and ranks among the top of its kind in the world. Since its founding, the institute has educated three generations of men and women who have played a key role in laying the country’s infrastructure and establishing its crucial defence and high-tech industries (~80,000 graduates). Boasting multiple Nobel Laureates, the IIT is a leader in scientific advancement and is at the forefront of the global network of science and technology. It has about 18 faculties, 40 research centres, 11 research institutes and 10 Centres of Excellence. It is located in a large campus, with ~100 buildings and state-of-the-art laboratories. The IIT also participates in many of the EU specific programs, such as BRITE-EURAM, JOULE, LIFE, ESPRIT FAIR, INCO, INNOVATION, COST, and INTAS.
The Department of Electrical Engineering of the IIT is ranked among the "top 10" Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments in the world. The department is the major source of engineers who lead the development of advanced Israeli technology in the fields of electronics, computers and communications. The department acts as a center of excellence in applied and theoretical research, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in electrical and computer engineering in Israel and throughout the world. The department has extensive relations with industry as well as academic and industrial special liaison support programs.
Role / activity in the project
IIT will contribute to scientific and technical management of the project (WP1) and to the design, modelling and simulation of theTHz sensor – namely the TeraTOP detecting transistor(s) and the MEMS post processing of the TeraTOP Focal Plane Array. (WP2 & WP3).People involved in the project
Yael Nemirovsky, is an IEEE Fellow as well as IEE Fellow and is a tenured full professor of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at IIT- Israel Institute of Technology. Nemirovsky had been extensively involved in cooled and uncooled IRFPAs (infra Red Focal Plane Arrays) for security and medical imaging. She has been a principal investigator in large funded research programs that ended in prototype infrared detectors and systems that were transferred to industry. She was extensively involved in the CMOS technology as well as in CMOS Image Sensors. Nemirovsky is a pioneer of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) research in Israel and in the last decade her research has focused on Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical (MOEMS) Systems. Her current main focus is on CMOSSOI- MEMS and system-on-chip approach. Nemirovsky is the recipient of an Israeli national award: "The Award for the Security of Israel" and IIT awards for "Best Teacher" and "Novel Applied Research". She also received the Kidron Foundation award for "Innovative Applied Research" and the USA R&D 100 2001 award recognizing the top 100 new inventions and products of the year in USA. In 2000 she received Intel award and she is the recipient of the 2008 IBM faculty award. Nemirovsky co-authored ~180 papers to referred journals, several hundreds of conference papers and 23 patents.
Sara Stolyarova, PhD, is a senior IIT researcher, with a rank equivalent to associate professor in the esteemed national Israeli program KAMEA. She received her M.Sc. in Physics from Moscow State University, Russia and a Ph.D in Solid State Physics from the Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences Latvia where she worked as a senior researcher in 1973-1992. Since 1995, she is a senior researcher in the IIT - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, collaborating with the Nemirovsky group. Her current research focuses on new microfabrication technologies based on CMOS-SOI-MEMS for sensors and solar cells.
Igor Brouk, PhD, received the electronic engineer degree (with honors) from the Moscow Institute of Aircraft Technology, in 1990, the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, in 2000 and 2005, respectively. His research interests include CMOS photodiodes, image sensors, low noise analog readout, ion-sensitive FETs (ISFETs), RF, and analog electronics in VLSI.
Alex Svetlitza is a graduate student under professor Nemirovsky supervision. His PHD thesis focuses on CMOS-SOI-MEMS Thermal Antennas for passive imaging in THz range.
