Bio
Prof.
Shlomi Arnon is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering. He is also the director of the Center for Quantum Science and
Technology (BGU-QST) at Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), Israel, and
the director of the Satellite and Wireless Communication Laboratory at the
university. Professor Arnon is a Fellow of the International Society for
Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He was a postdoctoral associate (Fulbright Fellow)
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA. He has held visiting positions at TU/e Eindhoven, Philips Lab,
Nederland, TU Delft, and Cornell University. He has served several times as
associate editor for special issues on optical wireless communication for OSA
and IEEE. He is co-author of the book Applied Aspects of Optical Communication
and LIDAR, Taylor & Francis/CRC, 2010; co-editor of the book Advanced
Optical Wireless Communication Systems, Cambridge University Press, 2012; and
editor of the book Visible Light Communication, Cambridge University Press,
2015. Recently he has initiated a new project in area of medical and quantum
technology funded by the prestigious European Union FET Open program. The main
subjects of his research include wireless and satellite communication, optical
wireless communication, free space optics, quantum key distribution system,
optical technologies for environmental monitoring, and quantum technology for
medical applications.
Our current research:
Our research draws upon a profound understanding and
profound expertise in the domains of physics, communication, and quantum
optics. Leveraging advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (A.I.) and
deep learning, we tackle intricate challenges that hold the potential to create
a positive impact on our world. By focusing on key areas such as medicine,
agriculture, environment, communication, sensing sustainability, and addressing
global food security, we strive to pave the way for a better future.
