Yoav Shechtman (Hebrew: יואב שכטמן; born March 17, 1980) is an Israeli physicist and engineer. He heads the Nano-Bio-Optics lab at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Early life and education
Yoav Shechtman was born on March 17, 1980, to Zipora and Dan Shechtman and spent his childhood growing up in Haifa.
Shechtman holds a BSc in physics and electrical Engineering (2007) and a PhD in physics (2013) from the Technion. He later completed a postdoc at Stanford University (2016), developing super-resolution microscopy methods with W.E. Moerner.[1]
Academic career
Since October 2016, Shechtman is a faculty member in the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology where he currently heads the Nano-Bio-Optics lab.[2][3]
In 2018, Shechtman and his team at the Technion developed an efficient method for bio imaging in super resolution.[4]
In 2021, Shechtman, in collaboration with Reut Orange-Kedem, developed a cheap and more efficient method for the production of more precise optical components.[5]
From September 2023 – 2024, Shechtman was a Harrington Faculty Fellow at The University of Texas[6] at Austin.
In May 2025, Shechtman was selected as a member of the Israel Young Academy.[7]
