CV

Avi Karsenty received his PhD in applied physics/material science (both Microelectronics and Electro-Optics Divisions) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) of 2003. He has over two decades of experience in the high tech industry in Europe and Israel, having spent sixteen years (1995-2011) with Intel in senior engineering and management positions and receiving several division recognition awards (DRAs).

He returned to academia in 2011 with the vision of forming the next generation of students and of reinforcing the bridge between the academy and industry, serving from Oct. 2014 to Sep. 2018 as the head of the applied physics/electro-optics engineering department at the Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT), in addition to leading the HaEytanim Personal Empowerment Program. In Feb. 2016, he chaired the 2016 Optics Engineering conference in Jerusalem, with hundreds of attendees. In Oct. 2017, the physics/electro-optics engineering MSc program he developed was approved by Israel’s Council of Higher Education (CHE), and several dozen candidates began studies. Currently, Dr. Karsenty leads the Advanced Laboratory of Electro-Optics at JCT, the JCT Nanotechnology center for research and education, and is now fully dedicated to research activities and publications, in conjunction with lecturing on nanotechnology-related topics to MSc students.

Dr. Karsenty is an IEEE and OSA/Optica Senior Member, and has received over 40 Awards in engineering and physics. His main areas of research interest and expertise are the development of quantum electro-optical coupled devices, device quality and reliability engineering, and the improvement of electro-optical measurement techniques. He has published tens of research articles in top journals and international conference proceedings.
