Michael graduated from Ecole Centrale Paris in 2000 with a specialization in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. During his studies, he developed a system on a chip (SoC) dedicated for network security and cryptography and founded a start-up company named Everbee. In 2004, he decided to return to academia to undertake a PhD in the fields of semiconductor physics and optical spectroscopy. During his thesis in the group of Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph at Weizmann Institute, Michael investigated the phase diagram of dipolar excitons in coupled quantum wells. He spent two additional postdoctoral years at Weizmann Institute and worked on fractional quantum Hall effect. After this work on semiconductor physics, he opted for a post-doc in mesoscopic physics and spent three postdoctoral years working on superconducting circuits in the Quantronics group at Saclay. In 2015, Michael returned to Israel to start the new Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory at BIU which focuses its research on hybrid quantum systems.
