Early life and education

edit

Shlomi Arnon earned his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where he was mentored by professors Natan Kopeika and Stanley Rotman. During his doctoral studies, he made contributions to the field of laser satellite communication, which laid the foundation for his future research in the field.[3]

Career

edit

Arnon's postdoctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was made possible by his status as a Fulbright Fellow.[4] After completing his post doctoral studies, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where he rose to the rank of full professor in 2011. He has also held visiting positions at several institutions, including Eindhoven University of Technology, Philips Lab in the Netherlands, TU Delft, and Cornell University.[5] Arnon was also appointed as the Israeli representative at NASA's Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) for several years.[6] Arnon has been recognized as a fellow of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) and a senior member of IEEE. Additionally, he has been invited to serve as an associate editor for several special issues on optical wireless communication for IEEE and OSA.[7][8]     

He served for many years on the university Supreme Committee for Academic Appointment of Medical Doctors.

Over the past decade, he has been academically responsible for the final engineering projects program of 4th-year students, overseeing around 100 projects annually in the School of Electrical Engineering.[5]

Since 2017, he has led the University Quantum Center, fostering an environment of innovation and discovery.[1]

He has been a member of the university's professor union since 2020, and has served two terms at the University senate, the last one from 2020 to 2023. For almost a decade, he has been a part of the faculty of engineering science committee that invites visiting scientists from abroad. Over the years, he has been a member of multiple School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the faculty of engineering science committees.[5]

He consults in his expertise area to hi-tech industry for many years. In 2021, he co-founded DOTS, a company that develops real-time nitrate monitoring solutions for agricultural soils. As the company's Chief Scientific Officer, Arnon leverages his expertise in engineering and environmental monitoring to create an innovative electro optics core which was an essential subsystem of the company’s product.[9]

Research

edit

In recent years, he has focused on pressing global issues such as health, climate change, and environmental concerns. As such he is the initiate and coordinator (2019-2023) a FET (future and emerging technology) European project called "cancer scan," which utilizes light to detect breast cancer.[10] He was also a co-developer of a technology to address excessive fertilization in agriculture, a problem that has negative impacts on groundwater, atmosphere, and fruit and vegetable prices. In his current research, he continues to utilize optics, physics, communication, and artificial intelligence to develop technology that addresses crucial global issues.[5]

Arnon's research contributions include wireless, satellite, and optical communication, biomedical applications, free space optics, visible light communication, quantum key distribution systems, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and optical technologies for environmental monitoring.[11]

Outreach

edit

Arnon played a role in advising and contributing in the area of communication and engineering science to the establishment of the science museum in Be'er Sheva, and actively volunteered for several years in various educational activities within his city. He also volunteered as a member of his city's earthquake rescue units.[5]
