Biography
Michal Lahav completed her BSc and PhD studies in Chemistry (cumma sum laude) in 2001 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science for two years before she moved to Harvard University, where she studied nanochemistry. After two years of postdoctoral work in the United States, she returned to Israel and started to work as a scientific advisor at the Weizmann Institute of Science. She was appointed as an Associate Staff Scientist in the Department of Organic Chemistry in 2011. Her interdisciplinary materials chemistry research is related to the self-assembly of metallo-organic materials for energy storage and for electrochromics whose products are now being patented. Her work is related to fundamental understanding of the formation and electronic properties of these metallo-supramolecular architectures. Dr. Michal Lahav’s prizes and honors include the Dr. Maxine Singer Prize for Outstanding Staff Scientists, the Baruch Zinger Award for Academic Excellency, the IVS Excellence Award for Surface Science Expertise and the Schmidt Prize.
