Ora Entin-Wohlman is an Israeli condensed matter physicist. She is a professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University and at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Entin-Wohlman studied mathematics and physics at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, earning a bachelor's degree in both in 1965 and a master's degree in physics in 1967. She completed her Ph.D. at Bar-Ilan University in 1973.[2]
After completing her Ph.D., she became a lecturer at Tel Aviv University, eventually becoming a professor in 1986 and retiring as professor emeritus in 2006. In the same year, she took up a professorship at Ben-Gurion University, where she became professor emeritus in 2013.[2]
Contributions
[edit]With Amnon Aharony, Entin-Wohlman is the author of Introduction to Solid State Physics (World Scientific, 2018).
Her work with Hamutal Bary-Soroker and Yoseph Imry on persistent currents in resistive conductors has been described as "so simple, yet compelling, that physicists may wonder why no one has thought of it before".[3]
Recognition
[edit]Entin-Wohlman was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1993, "for contributions to the theory of granular superconductivity, fractions, strong localization and nonlinear optics in novel materials".[4] She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2018, as an international honorary member, for her "seminal contributions to a wide range of topics in condensed matter physics theory, including superconductivity, electron and phonon localization, magnetism, nanoscience and spintronics".[5] She is also a foreign member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[6] In 2022, she was elected to the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities[7] and became an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics.[8]
