ABOUT AVISHAI BENYAMINI
I am a passionate, creative, out-of-the-box problem-solver and a physicist devoted to tackling innovative problems. I have broad scientific experience, from establishing new technologies to solving diverse experimental and theoretical problems. I don\'t take things for granted and want to understand what I am told. If I understand something new of impact I can quickly change directions and perspectives. I love working with other people and love an open-minded work culture.If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me. Below is a bit more about me.I am currently leading a bright, diverse team of researchers to design high-efficiency, fast photon-number-resolving detectors for PsiQuantum\'s photonic quantum computer. The problem is multifaceted and includes material development, superconducting physics, light-matter interactions, and advanced electronics. I enjoy learning from the team and working with them daily, solving open problems, and pushing the boundaries of what we consider possible.Some of my main scientific contributions:* Solved a 20-year-old open physics problem regarding the nature of a metallic state in 2D superconductors. Finalized in two papers in Science Advances and Nature Physics.* Established a novel mechanism that creates an attraction between electrons—potentially a road for achieving room-temperature superconductivity, a major scientific breakthrough published in Nature.Management and leadership experience:* RnD Senior Manager at PsiQuantum* RnD Team Manager at PsiQuantum* Chaired Columbia University MRSEC leadership committee* Led research teams* Mentored Ph.D. and M.Sc. students* Instructed courses and motivational talksTechnical expertise:* High-performance multi-disciplinary device designs with low variability* Integration of new materials and unknown physics into large foundries* Condensed matter physics* Superconductivity* Semiconductors* Nanofabrication* 2D van der Waals materials* Measurements and cryogenic setups* ProgrammingPublications: & hl=en
