DORON AURBACH is a full professor in the department of Chemistry, a senate
member and the Director of the cleantech center at the Bar-Ilan Institute
of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials (BINA). Aurbach and his team
study the electrochemistry of active metals and polar aprotic systems, the
development of spectroscopic methods (in situ and ex situ) for sensitive
electrochemical systems, the electrochemistry of modified electrodes,
electrochemical intercalation processes. His group works on development of
rechargeable high energy density batteries and EDL capacitors. The
research group under his leadership also works on electronically
conducting polymers and activated carbon electrodes, and their
engineering, characterization and applications. Aurbach’s group also
studies water desalination by electrochemical means. Professor Aurbach
published more than 380 research articles in peer reviewed journals and
registered 25 patents .He awarded the prestigious Israel Chemical Society
prize of excellence (2012) Landau Prize for Green Chemistry (2011), the
Edwards Company Prize of the Israel Vacuum Society (IVS) for research
Excellence (2007) and the Technology Award of the Battery Division of the
Electrochemical Society (2005). He is a fellow member of the ECS (2008),
ISE (2010) and MRS (2012). He serves as an associate editor in 3
electrochemistry journals: EES, JES (journals of the Electrochemical
Society) and JOSSEC, J. Solid State Electrochemistry (Springer). He also
serve as the chairman of the Israel Lab Accreditation authority (ISRAC),
since 2010. The research group he leads is one of the biggest research
groups in Israel (40 people, including 15 senior researchers with PhD). 30
graduate students received PhD and 35 students received MSc unser his
supervision, since he founded the group (end of 1985).

Recently (March 2012) he became the leader of a new national Israeli
multi-institutional research center that develops alternatives to the use
of petroleum for propulsion, to which 12 research groups from 4 academic
institutions (BIU, TAU, Technion and AUC) belong. This center was recently
awarded a grant of 12 milion USD from the Iseal National Science
Foundation (ISF) for its first 5 years of activity.
