Prof. Ady Arie received his B.Sc. degree in Mathematics and Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1983. In 1986 and 1992 he received his M.Sc. degree in Physics and Ph.D. degree in Engineering from Tel-Aviv University. Between 1991 and 1993 he was a Wolfson and Fulbright postdoctoral scholar in the group of Prof. Robert L. Byer at Ginzton Laboratory, Stanford University, U.S.A.

In 1993 he received the Alon Fellowship for new faculty members from the Israeli Council of Higher Education and joined the Dept. of Physical Electronics, School of Electrical Engineering in the Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Tel-Aviv University. In 2006 he became a Professor of Electrical Engineering. In the years 2001-2005 he also served as a co-founder and chief technology office of ZettaLight Inc., a startup company in the field of optical wavelength management. Prof. Arie served as the Vice Dean of Research of the Faculty of Engineering in the years 2011-2013 and as the Head of the School of Electrical Engineering in the years 2013-2017. Currently he is the Head of the Tel Aviv University Center for Light-Matter Interaction and the incumbent of the Marko and Lucie Chaoul Chair in Nano-Photonics. In 2016 he won the Kadar Foundation Award for Excellence in Research.

Prof. Arie is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. In the years 2008-2014 he served as a Topical Editor of Optics Letters and since 2018 he is an Associate Editor of Optica. He is also the chair of the national steering committee of the Israeli Planning and Budgeting Committee on Quantum Science and Technology. His research in the last years is in the areas of classical and quantum nonlinear optics, hydrodynamics, electron microscopy and plasmonics.
