Professor Ron Lifshitz

Ron Lifshitz is a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University. He is a theoretical physicist working in two separate fields: Quasicrystals – geometrical and physical consequences of aperiodic long-range order; and Nanomechanics – classical, mesoscopic, and quantum physics of tiny mechanical systems. Professor Lifshitz held visiting faculty appointments at Caltech, the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Physics and the University of Stuttgart. He is the recipient of the 2002 Olschwang Prize in Physics of the Israel Science Foundation, and the 2013 Jean-Marie Dubois Award in Quasicrystals, and was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2015. In 2021 he was appointed a Cheney Fellow at the University of Leeds, and is currently a Leverhulme Trust Fellow at the University of Liverpool.
