December 2020. Our Lab Leader, Professor Yakov Krasik elevated to IEEE Fellow and received the IEEE Magne “Kris” Kristiansen Award
Prof. Yakov Krasik
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Board of Directors elevated Prof. Yakov Krasik to IEEE Fellow, effective 1 January 2021, “for contributions to plasma-based electron sources”.
In addition, Yakov also won the IEEE Magne “Kris” Kristiansen Award. The Kristiansen award is given to recognize individuals for outstanding contributions in experimental nuclear and plasma science with preference given to areas within the broadest scope of plasma sciences encompassing the generation of strong pulsed electromagnetic fields including their interaction with plasmas and other pulsed power applications
An IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends
a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow, the highest grade of membership in the IEEE. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.
Congratulations, Boss! This is a great honor to all of us!

Yang Cao
Our PhD student Yang Cao is one of the two winners of the 47th International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS 2020) Best Student Paper Award. Yang also won the award in 2019.
The Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society ( NPSS ) Outstanding Student Paper Awards seek to recognize outstanding student oral papers submitted to ICOPS 2020 and selected by a special committee.
The purpose of these awards is to encourage both outstanding student contributions and greater student participation as principal or sole authors of papers as well as to acknowledge the importance of student contributions to the fields embraced by the ICOPS 2020.
The award ceremony took place online on December 8th 2020. Congratulations Yang!
October 2019, Alexander Rososhek won the Igor Alexeff Outstanding Student in Plasma Science Award -PSAC
Alexander Rososhek
Our Ph.D. student Alexander Rososhek will receive the 2020 prestigious Igor Alexeff Outstanding Student Award of the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS, Plasma Science and Applications PSAC Awards). Earlier this year Alexander was one of the recipients of the 2019 Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Student Paper Awards.
The Igor Alexeff Outstanding Student Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of plasma science and technology by undergraduate or graduate students. It is a prize of $1000 and a certificate funded by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society’s Plasma Science and Applications Committee. The prize will be presented at the 2020 International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS) to be held in Singapore. Our congratulations to Alexander!
September 6, 2019, IVS- IPSTA annual conference
Meital Shiman-Tov reports on the plenary
The Israel Society for Plasma Science and Technology Applications (IPSTA) is a division within the Israel Vacuum Society (IVS), serving as a home for those in the community of researchers who work in various areas related to the science and technology of plasma.
Meital receives the Award diploma. With Chairman of the plenary Prof Gilad Marcus from Hebrew University (from right)
As part of its activities, IPSTA arranges annual conferences, sponsored by IVS. So far, IPSTA has organized the annual scientific meetings. The 2019 IPSTA annual conference as part of Israel Vacuum Society conference was remarkable by our Ph.D. student Mrs. Meital Siman-Tov lecture.
She presented her experiments and results. At the end of the conference, Meital was awarded the Goldsmith Prize for this work. Our congratulations to Meital!
