• 2006-2007

Glucon Medical Ltd.

CTO.

Responsibility included defining the company technological needs and new products as well as R&D guidance.

• 2004-2006

Glucon Medical Ltd.

Simulation and modeling group leader.

In this capacity I led the simulation and modeling group.

The responsibilities of the modeling and simulation group, involved the understanding and development of the measurement method for non-invasive glucose monitoring.

• 2001-2004

Glucon Medical Ltd.

Senior Researcher.

My main responsibilities were: developing the photoacoustic simulation.

Building several in-vitro systems to characterize optical and acoustical properties of biological fluids. Performing In-vitro measurements of optical and acoustical properties of blood under different conditions.

2000- 2001

Oak Ridge National Laboratory Research staff member, leader of the optics group.

The group had three main projects:

1. i) Broad area diode lasers: Understanding and development of methods to control and synchronize the output radiation from broad area diode lasers bar using external injection and self-coupling for lock-in mechanism.  The object of the research was to achieve a high power coherent radiation from broad area diode lasers bar. I have supervised the work of a student who carried the lab measurements.

2. ii) Quantum optics: Development of a new type of ultra-bright entangled photon source, the process involved frequency down conversion of femtoseconds laser pulses in non-linear crystals.

3. iii) Optical computing: Development of optical modules for solving partial differential equations. The aim of the work was to develop an ultra fast dedicated processor where some of the computations are performed using optical modules. My task was to design and build a feasibility prototype which will demonstrate the concept.
