Shlomo Magdassi is an Israeli chemist and professor at the Institute of Chemistry, Casali Center for Applied Chemistry, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is known for his research in colloid and interface science, nanomaterials, and functional printing technologies, including printed electronics and 3D and 4D printing. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
Early life and education
Magdassi was born in Ramla, Israel. He studied chemistry and applied chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, receiving a BSc in 1978, an MSc in 1980, and a PhD in 1983 under the supervision of Nissim Garti. He completed postdoctoral research at Ohio State University from 1984 to 1985 with Sylvan G. Frank.
Academic career
Magdassi has spent his academic career at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he joined the Institute of Chemistry as a lecturer in applied chemistry in 1986 and was promoted to professor in 2005.
Since 2021, he has headed the Casali Foundation, and in 2024 he was appointed Vice Dean for Entrepreneurship and Industry. He holds the Enrique Berman Chair in Solar Energy. He was also the founder of the 3D and Functional Printing Center and served as chairman of ASPER-HUJI Innovate from 2019 to 2024.
He has served on the editorial boards of several scientific journals, including ACS Materials Letters, Advanced Materials Technologies, Virtual and Physical Prototyping, Colloid Journal, and Coatings.
Research
Magdassi’s research is in materials science and chemistry, including micro- and nanomaterials, colloid and interface science, and functional materials. His work has included studies of dispersions, emulsions, and related colloidal systems.
One area of his research concerns functional inks and materials for digital printing and printed electronics. His work has included inkjet-based fabrication methods and conductive inks based on metallic nanoparticles and other nanostructured materials, with applications in flexible electronics, sensors, and energy-related devices.
Magdassi has also worked on materials for 3D printing and 4D printing, including polymer and composite systems with responsive properties. Related work has involved printable systems that incorporate nanomaterials for functional or adaptive structures.
His research has also addressed nanomaterials in drug delivery and related delivery systems, including applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, with work on controlled release and targeted delivery mechanisms.
Some of his research has been connected to industrial applications in areas such as digital printing, solar energy, electronics, and consumer products, including through collaborations and technology transfer activities.
