Early life and education
editMaron obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1977. Upon graduation, he remained at the institution and worked as a postdoctoral fellow until 1980. He then moved to the Laboratory of Plasma Studies at Cornell University and became a Research Associate until 1984. Maron eventually returned to the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) as a professor in the Faculty of Physics and became head of the WIS Plasma Laboratory.[2][5][6]
Honours and awards
editMaron was inducted as a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1996[5] and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2003.[7]
