Eli Rotenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eli Rotenberg is an American physicist. He works at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) synchrotron,[1] and was named a fellow of the American Physical Society in recognition of his work in photoemission spectroscopy.[2]

Career

[edit]

Rotenberg studied at Cornell University, and obtained a BS in 1987. He conducted his PhD studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and graduated in 1993 with a thesis entitled "The Relationship Between Structure and Core-Level Shifts in Thin Epitaxial Films of CaF2 and SrF2 on Si(111)".[3] His thesis advisor was Marjorie Olmstead. Rotenberg then moved to the University of Oregon for postdoctoral work. In 1996, he became a staff scientist at ALS at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he has continued to work as of 2025.[1] In this position, he serves as the project leader of the MAESTRO (Microscopic and Electronic STRucture Observatory)[4] beamline.

Awards and honors

[edit]
  • 2001 Peter Mark Memorial Award of the American Vacuum Society for "furthering our knowledge of nanophase and reduced dimensionality systems by creative use of angle-resolved photoemission."[5]
  • 2008 Fellow of the American Physical Society for "outstanding contributions to the understanding of quantum electronic properties of nanophase and reduced dimensionality systems by creative applications of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy." [2]
  • 2009 Inaugural Kai Siegbahn Award[6]
  • 2010 Vacuum Ultraviolet and X-ray Physics Prize[7]
  • Davisson–Germer Prize with Stephen Kevan "For the development of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) leading to groundbreaking surface science."[8]
