Amir Yacoby is a condensed matter physicist and professor at Harvard University.
Education
Yacoby got bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering and a master’s degree in theoretical physics.[1] In 1994, he obtained his PhD at Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Professor Moty Heiblum.
Career
In 2006, Yacoby started teaching at Harvard.[1] He was appointed as the Lazaridis Chair in Physics of the Institute for Quantum Computing in 2013.[2] In March 2014, his group developed a magnetic resonance imaging technology by which nanoscale images can be provided, that could enable researchers to peer into the atomic structure of individual molecules.[3] In 2014, Yacoby was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[4]
