Matan Gal-Katziri is a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, where he leads the Microelectronic Arrays and RF Systems (MARS) Lab. His research focuses on RF integrated circuits, sensor arrays, and RF system miniaturization, with current efforts in flexible RF electronics, environmental sensing, and hybrid opto-electronic integration. His group develops integrated circuits and distributed arrays that sense, process, and communicate with the physical world, including flexible and shape-aware phased arrays, optically synchronized CMOS arrays, and compact electrical sensors.
Gal-Katziri received a dual B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Physics from Ben-Gurion University. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Caltech, where he was a member of the CHIC Lab advised by Prof. Ali Hajimiri. Before joining BGU in 2021, he was an RFIC design engineer at Elipse RFIC Array Devices and a postdoctoral research associate at Caltech. His honors include the IEEE MTT-S IMS Best Advanced Practice Paper Award and the Analog Devices Outstanding Student Designer Award.
