Carmel Rotschild

I am working as an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at the Technion. My subjects of interest are localized energy states in molecules and energy transfer in low-order materials. In term of applications, my research engaged with nano-scale devices for solar energy. These include; optical heat pumps, solar powered laser, nonlinear optics in incoherent light for efficient conversion of IR and short wavelengths to electricity, and engineering of thermal radiation. For my recent discovery on conservation rule in photo-luminescence and its potential application in solar energy, I won the ERC starting grant and the Krill Prize
