BAR-ILAN INSTITUTE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY & ADVANCED MATERIALS | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

59 Mr. Moshe Feldberg Clean room facilities Member of BINA staff Publications 2018 and 2019 • Dvir Munk, Moshe Katzman, Mirit Hen, Maayan Priel, Moshe Feldberg, Tali Sharabani, Shahar Levy, Arik Bergman & Avi Zadok, “Surface acoustic wave photonic devices in silicon on insulator”, Nature Communications volume 10, Article number: 4214, 2019 . Prof. Dror Fixler Director of BINA Faculty of Engineering Nano Photonics Center Research Areas • Fluorescence lifetime and anisotropy decay • Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) • Biological imaging based on fluorescence parameters • Super resolution • Light-tissue interaction Abstract Nano photonics, Fluorescence Imaging and Microscopy Research Fixler’s lab deals with theoretical and practical models for reconstructing the optical properties of participating media by nano photonic tools. Our theory is based on a robust generalization of the diffusion theory; Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm; dipole- dipole approximation and other methods. On the practical side we use lasers, LEDs and microscopes. Dr. Yafit Fleger Head of CPM Unit Member of BINA staff Publications 2018 and 2019 • M. Kosowska, D. Majchrowicz, M. Ficek, P. Wierzba, Y.
