Prof. Aviad Frydman, head of the Department of Physics, arrived at BIU more than two decades ago after completing his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Diego. Since establishing his laboratory, Prof. Frydman has been engaged in nanotechnology research; he was a member of BINA’s founding think tank and one of its first faculty members. Today, he is a member of BINA’s scientific committee, steering the institute toward future goals. With his research group, Prof. Frydman, an experimental scientist, focuses on the electric traits of the quantum world. His goal is to introduce invaluable knowledge that will shed light on the mysteries of quantum science and allow us to put them into practice with innovations such as quantum computers. The intriguing combination of superconductivity, nano and quantum draws many graduate and doctoral students, as well as postdoctoral fellows from all over the world, to Prof. Frydman’s lab. For Prof. Tatyana I. Baturina, an experimental scientist who was forced to flee Russia as war with Ukraine broke out, a former visit to Prof. Frydman’s lab had a lifesaving impact.
