Prof. Ellenbogen obtained his bachelor's degree in Physics and Computers from Tel-Aviv University in 2002 and his Master's degree in Physics from Tel-Aviv University in 2005. He did his PhD degree in Nonlinear Optics at the School of Electrical Engineering in Tel-Aviv University. During his PhD he received several awards for excellence including the SPIE, Intel, Applied Materials, Weinstein, and The Electro-Optics Fund awards. In 2010 he received the Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship and joined the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University to work on nanoplasmonics and excitonics. During his postdoctoral fellowship he acted as an active member of The Center for Excitonics in MIT and the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems. In October 2012 he took his current position at the Department of Physical Electronics at The Tel-Aviv University School of Electrical Engineering to establish The Laboratory for Nanoscale Electro Optics.

Cormac joined the NEO Lab in April 2019 as a Postdoctoral Researcher working on THz and SHG generation from metasurfaces. He received his B.Sc. degree in Experimental Physics from The University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) in 2012. He completed a PhD in 2016 at the National Centre for Laser Applications at NUIG investigating laser ablation mechanisms of transparent conductive thin films using ultrashort laser pulses. In 2016 he joined M-Squared Lasers in Scotland as an applications engineer, participating in a number of EU project collaborations including HYPERIAS and LUSTRE. As part of this he undertook a number of guest research secondments to the University of Siegen Germany and St Andrews University Scotland. In 2018 he joined the Lasercenter at Munich University of Applied Sciences as a Postdoctoral Researcher working on pump-probe techniques for investigating the mechanisms of ultrashort laser-metal interactions.

Sharon joined the NEO Lab in October 2013 as a M.Sc. student. During her Master's, Sharon developed polarization-selective elements and integrated them into digital holographic microscopes. Sharon graduated in 2017, and continued in our group as a PhD student. She received her B.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Tel-Aviv University in 2012 with majors in biomedical signals and systems. Between 2008 and 2011 she worked as a Medical Research Assistant at METEOR Medical Center. In the NEO Lab, Sharon is researching and developing plasmonic metamaterials for use in Ophthalmic devices.

Tsafrir joined the NEO Lab in April 2016 as M.Sc. student. He received his B.Sc. degree in Physics and Chemistry from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2015. In the last year of his B.Sc. studies he worked as a research assistant at Prof. Uri Banin's lab, investigating the physical properties of nano-crystals. At the NEO Lab Tsafrir studies 2D semiconductors optics. ​

Danielle joined the NEO Lab in November 2016 as M.Sc. student. She received her B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with honors from Tel Aviv University in March 2018, as she continued her M.Sc. studies as part of the direct program. Her master's research focused on the optical properties of plasmonic metasurface etalons. Danielle graduated her M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with honors from Tel Aviv University in April 2020, and continued in our group as a PhD student. At the NEO Lab Danielle studies collective optical interactions in 3D nano-engineered metamaterials.

Mai joined the NEO Lab in March 2016 as a research assistant during her B.Sc. Later, she continued as an M.Sc. student in the lab. Her master's research focused on THz generation from nonlinear metamaterials. Mai received her B.Sc. in Physics from Tel-Aviv University in 2017,and her M.Sc. in Physics from Tel-Aviv University in 2020. Currently, Mai is researching the temporal dynamics of collective effects in metasurfaces.

Sofiia joined the NEO lab in October 2022 as a MSc student, working with the members of the group on fabrication of plasmonic nonlinear metasurface composed of split-ring resonators. She received her B.Sc. degrees in Automation and instrumentation of Optoelectronic systems and technologies from NTUU "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" in 2022.

Daniil joined the NEO lab in April 2023 as a M.Sc. student. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Laser Engineering from ITMO University, Saint Petersburg. His bachelor thesis was focused on entangled state formation in Josephson’s Junctions at finite temperatures. At the NEO Lab Daniil studies nonlinear processes arising from nanostructures.
