Moty Heiblum

Dr. Moty Heiblum’s research centers on transport properties in condensed matter physics, with expertise in interferometers and noise measurement systems in the quantum Hall effect. He earned a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the Technion (1973), an MSc from Carnegie Mellon University (1974), and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley (1978). Currently an active Emeritus Professor at the Sub-Micron Center in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Dr. Heiblum previously served as Chairman of the department (1993–2014), Director of the Sub-Micron Semiconductor Center at the Weizmann Institute of Science (1990–2014), and Active Chairman of the Board at Ort Braude College of Engineering (2000–2011). Earlier, he was a Research Staff Member and Manager at IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights (1978–1990) and visiting professor at HP Labs and Stanford University (1996–1997). His work has been recognized with the IBM Outstanding Innovation Award (1986), APS Fellowship (1990), IEEE Life Fellowship (1990), Rothschild Prize (2008), election to the Israeli Academy of Sciences (2008), EMET Prize (2013), Oliver E. Buckley Prize (2021), and Wolf Prize for contributions to quantum Hall effects (2025). In 2025, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
