Bar Ilan University, Israel
Prof. Arie Zaban earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry (summa cum laude) and Ph.D. in Electrochemistry (with highest distinction) at Bar-Ilan University (1987-1995). After 2 year postdoctoral stint at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Denver, CO), he was appointed to the senior faculty at Bar-Ilan (1998), where he is currently a Full Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Bar Ilan Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials. Prof. Zaban has published over 120 papers in refereed journals (Nature Material, JACS, Chem. Commun. etc), 3 book chapters, and 35 invited lectures. He has 10 patents out of which 7 are commercialized in three start-up companies. All papers and patents are energy related (photovoltaics, batteries, materials for energy conversion and storage). Prof. Zaban is a member of the Israeli government advisory committee on alternative fuels and vice chair of the Solar Energy Solution Consortium (Magnet Program). Prof. Zaban has been awarded several prizes and fellowships such as the Israel Chemical Society Prize for Outstanding Young Scientist, a Rothschild Fellowship, a Levi Eshkol Scholarship and the Michael Landau Research Prize in Renewable Energy. His research interests are in the fields of photo-electrochemistry and materials science, with a focus on renewable energy resources.
