Research interests
  • 1. Theory of interaction of light with single emitters: single molecule spectroscipy, photon counting statistics, single photons on demand, blinking behavior of quantum dots, dephasing and spectral diffusion processes at the single particle level. 2. Weak ergodicity breaking: dynamical foundations, stochastic theories, fractional kinetics, blinking nano-crystals, relation to dynamics on fractals.

CV
  • Professor Barkai received his B.Sc, M.Sc, and Ph.D in Physics from Tel-Aviv university. During his Ph.D studies he developed a fractional kinetic framework describing anomalous transport in dynamical systems. In 1998, he joined the Chemistry department in Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his postdoctoral research. He there developed the theory of single molecule spectroscopy. He joined the faculty in Notre Dame Indiana in 2002. In 2004 he returned to Israel to join the Physics Department at Bar-Ilan University. In 2006 he won the Krill prize for excellence in scientific research selected by the Wolf Foundation.
