Tal Carmon

Optomechanics Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

Lecture Title: Fiber Coupling to Moving-, Levitating- and Liquid-Resonators

Tal Carmon was born in Haifa, Israel and received his B.Sc. (Cum Laude) from the Mechanical engineering Department at the Technion. Tal got his PhD in Physics from the Technion on 2003.

And continued to a Postdoc position at Caltech where he experimentally demonstrated mechanical vibrations generated by the pressure of light. On 2007, Tal Joined the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as an Assistant Professor and extended vibration rates of micro-resonators to above 10 GHz. In 2013, Tal got tenure at the University of Michigan and then returned to his Alma Mater at the Technion where he extends the basic principles of optics and condensed matter to water waves that are similar to the waves seen when we through a stone into a puddle. Tal is a recipient of the US Air Force Young Investigator award, the Rothschild Post Doctorate Fellowship and the Eshkol PhD Fellowship.
