Academic Work

My academic work focused around the electrodynamics of rotating media, photonic crystals and optical gyroscopes. The greatest achievements of my research included the development of novel theoretical and numerical methods enabling a complete solution of Maxwell’s equations in rotating medium, and using those methods to prove via numerical simulation, the ability to construct ultra-compact optical gyroscopes with photonic crystals. The work was made under the guidance of Professor B. Z. Steinberg of Tel Aviv University.

Patents

The square loop antenna (2001)  1MB - Used in over a million products throughout the world, mainly in wireless game controllers for game consuls. Invented in 2001 during my work in RFWaves. The patent deals with a general method to design miniature antennas, and specifically with the square loop antenna. The novelty is in the combination of low cost, high performance and integrated filtering.
