Sloutskin Lab: Soft Condensed Matter Physics

Our group

Dr. Eli Sloutskin (faculty)

Avner Cohen (Ph. D. student)

phone: (0)3-738-4507

email: avnerco at gmail.com

Eli earned his Ph. D. in 2007 with Prof. Moshe Deutsch in the  Physics Department at the Bar-Ilan University (Israel). The
Ph. D. thesis dealt with the surface ordering effects in liquids. To study surface ordering, x-rays from modern synchrotron sources were scattered from the liquid surfaces, providing the structure of these surfaces with an atomic resolution.

In 2007-2009 Eli worked as a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. David A. Weitz, at Harvard University (USA), employing confocal microscopy to study phase transitions in colloidal suspensions.
