Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to the first Northwestern University – Tel
Aviv University Workshop, 22nd to 25th February 2015.
The goal of this workshop is to build on and strengthen existing close
scientific and engineering interactions between faculty members of the
McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (MEAS) of
Northwestern University (NU) and the Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of
Engineering of Tel Aviv University (TAU). There are currently a number of
ongoing collaborations among professors of the departments of materials science
and engineering (DMS&E) and electrical engineering and computer science
(EECS) at NU, and the department of physical electronics within the school of
electrical engineering and the recently founded DMS&E at TAU. It is these
working relationships that generated this workshop.
Professor Noam Eliaz, founding chair of the DMS&E at TAU, spent his
sabbatical year, 2012-2013, working with Professors David Dunand and David
Seidman as an Eshbach Scholar of MEAS. One of the several concrete results of
the meetings involving Professors Eliaz, Seidman, Michael Bedzyk (chair of the
DMS&E at NU) and Julio Ottino (dean of the MEAS) was a document concerning
05
05
joint collaborations between the two DMS&E at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels, which included an inaugural workshop at TAU. After a
meeting among Professors Yossi Rosenwaks (at that time the chair of the
department of physical electronics at TAU), Alan Sahakian (chair of the
department of EECS at NU), Bedzyk, Seidman and Ottino, the goal broadened to
include interactions with the department of physical electronics at TAU.
This inaugural workshop is on the theme of semiconductors, electronic
materials, thin films and photonic materials, which represent highly
interdisciplinary fields of research. The many related applications are timely
with potentially great impact on the high-technology, nanotechnology, energy,
biomedical, information, communication and defense industries. Internationally
acclaimed experimentalists, computational materials scientists, and theoreticians
from both universities were invited, which will certainly lead to lively scientific
discussions, and which in turn will lead to further inter-university interactions.
The first two days of the workshop will consist of scientific presentations and
intensive discussions, which are anticipated to initiate new collaborations and
joint submissions of grant applications to funding agencies. The third day will
consist of tutorials for and poster presentations by graduate and postdoctoral
students from all over Israel. The fourth day will be one day of sightseeing in
Jerusalem, led by a professional tour guide, to have the NU attendees become
acquainted with some of the customs and culture of Israel.
We thank Tel Aviv University (the vice president, the institute's conferences
committee, the dean of engineering, and the dean of exact sciences),
Northwestern University (the provost's office, the chair of MEAS, and the
Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC)), Israel Ministry of
Defense, Pazy Foundation, Israel Ministry of Science, Technology and Space, and
06
06
the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities for their generous financial
support, which is enabling us to offer an unforgettable event for all attendees.
We welcome you to this important scientific event, which is being held near
the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
Yours respectfully,
S
Professors Noam Eliaz (TAU) and David Seidman (NU), Co-Chairs

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT לשכת הנשיא
January 21, 2015
Dear Participants,
I am pleased to see the milestone Tel Aviv University-Northwestern University cooperation agreement, signed
last year, bear fruit with the launch of the joint materials science workshop. I have no doubt that this exciting
gathering will be followed by many more that further our two institutions' shared goal of research excellence in
the service of humanity.
Tel Aviv University's blossoming relationship with Northwestern has opened diverse opportunities for
collaborative projects in areas ranging from business and law to medicine, engineering and the exact sciences.
No less important are new and unique opportunities for partnerships with the Chicago-area Jewish and business
communities – and with alumni of both universities – to support this dynamic activity.
I would like to stress that we are proud of our association with Northwestern University. We are proud to be
welcoming our distinguished Northwestern colleagues to our beautiful campus once again. And we are
especially proud of our shared, ongoing contribution to Israeli-American academic links and to our two
countries' close friendship.
I wish you a rewarding workshop.
Sincerely,
Professor Joseph Klafter
President

Northwestern University and Tel‐Aviv University joint
Workshop on Semiconductors, Electronic Materials, Thin Films and Photonic Materials
Prof. Noam Eliaz (Tel Aviv University), and
Professor David Seidman (Northwestern University)
Dear Noam and David,
International research collaboration is a rapidly growing component of core research
activity for all countries. In global terms, this view underlines the vital need for an interchange of
knowledge and expertise amongst academicians in general and scientists in particular. In line
with this thinking, Tel Aviv University places a strong emphasis on forging and strengthening
international bonds which provide greater opportunity for synergistic research projects that
hitherto would not have been pursued.
In this context, the cooperation between Northwestern University and Tel Aviv University
provides an excellent example of two sister institutions that have joined forces to promote
better research, science and engineering programs. The mutual research workshops organized in
this context have the potential to strengthen the academic and research collaborations among
scientists in the two universities, and enable the development of novel research directions.
The subjects of the current workshop – semiconductors, electronic materials, thin films
and photonic materials – are at the forefront of research in materials science and engineering
and physical electronics. I am confident that this workshop will foster the already established
cooperation among researchers from the two universities in these important fields, and serve as
a catalyst in the further development of research programs at both universities along these
avenues.
Sincerely,
Prof. Yoav Henis, Ph.D.

Eretz Israel Museum - http://www.eretzmuseum.org.il/e/
Tel Aviv Port – http://www.namal.co.il/en/default.aspx
Nahalat Binyamin - The Nahalat Binyamin Arts & Crafts Fair takes place
every Tuesday and Friday along the pedestrian mall. More than 200 Israeli crafts-
people and artists set up stalls to exhibit and sell their unique and often humorous
creations. It’s an outdoor fair with street performers, clowns and musicians pro-
viding free entertainment for visitors. The market is open on those two days from
10am until sundown.
Neve Tzedek - South of the Yemenite Quarter, Neve Tzedek was the first
neighborhood built in the “new” city of Tel Aviv, back in 1887. At the begin-
ning of the 20th century Neve Tzedek was the home of many artists and writers,
such as Brenner and Agnon (a Nobel Prize winning author). Here are many
gorgeous little shops in the area, especially on Shabazi Street. You can find de-
signer shops, children's clothes, art, pottery and many more boutique shops, which
would make even the most reserved shopping fan ecstatic. You can get a bite to
eat in the many cafes and restaurants in the area.

Tel Aviv’s White City a World Cultural Heritage site. -

Culture Square - Tel Aviv is Israel’s culture city. Most of the museums, or-
chestras, theaters, art galleries, dance venues and music halls come with an entry
fee, however. To get a taste of the city’s arts scene, head over to Culture Square at
the end of Rothschild Boulevard. Here you’ll find the historic Mann Auditorium,
home to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the recently renovated Habima Na-
tional Theater and the Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art - all
facing a gorgeously designed public courtyard with a small flower garden, water
fountain and dozens of families frolicking among them.
Rabin Square - The main plaza just outside City Hall is known as Rabin
Square, named after Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He was assassinated on
vii
viiNovember 4th, 1995, after a peace rally in this square. A monument to Rabin stands at
the spot where he was killed. Israeli sculptor Yael Ben-Artzi used 16 basalt stones from
the Golan Heights and sunk them into the earth to symbolize Rabin’s deep connection
to the land.
