Professor Yoel Fink’s research interests focus on the theory, design, fabrication, and characterization of multimaterial and multifunctional fibers and fiber assemblies. His research group aims to extend the frontiers of fiber materials that can allow for optical transmission while encompassing electronic, optoelectronic, and acoustic properties. The unique combination of diverse materials arranged in intricate geometries features dimensions down to 10 nanometers. Complementing these approaches, the group works towards realizing sophisticated functions that can be utilized at both single-fiber levels and in the assembly of large-scale fiber arrays and fabrics. With multimaterial fibers developed under his guidance, unprecedented control over material properties can be achieved, effectively manipulating functionalities across length scales spanning from nanometers to kilometers. Professor Fink earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1994 and a BA in Physics in 1995. He completed his PhD in Materials Science at MIT in 2000. Joining the faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT in 2001, he later became a joint professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2011. He is also a co-founder of OmniGuide, serving as CEO from 2007 to 2010 and is a member of their board of directors since 2014. He has co-authored more than 80 scientific journal articles and holds 60 issued patents for photonic fibers and devices.
