Aviram Uri will join Princeton University as an Assistant Professor of Physics in September 2025. He received his B.Sc. in Physics from Tel-Aviv University and completed his Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2021. Currently, he is a Pappalardo Fellow at MIT’s Physics Department. His research explores strongly interacting topological quantum phases through transport measurements and scanning nano-superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. Among his honors are the Israel Physics Society’s Outstanding Experimental Student Award, the John F. Kennedy Prize for excellence in doctoral research, the Rothschild Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the VATAT Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Science and Technology.
