Zalevsky, Zeev was born on February 20, 1971 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Arrived in Israel, 1979. Son of Michael and Lena Zalevsky.
Born in the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union in 1971, Zalevsky moved to Israel with his family in 1979. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical engineering from in 1993. He went on to obtain a Doctor of Philosophy in Optoelectronics from the same university in 1996, his Doctoral thesis was in the field of Super-resolution.
He accepted a position at Bar Ilan University in 2003.
He is the head of the Opto-electronics division in the Electrical engineering faculty since then In 2007, Zalevsky was one of the leading founders of the Bar-Ilan Institute of Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials (BINA).
He is a Professor of Electrical engineering and Nanophotonics at Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. He is also a visiting professor in University of Erlangen-Nuremberg at Germany. He is in the management community of the OASIS, The Optical Association of Israel.
Zalevsky is best known for his work on Super Resolution.
He developed some techniques to overcome resolution limits and in particular for his work in theoretical and experimental definition of various approaches for exceeding Abbe"s classical limit of optical resolution. He broadened the field of Fractional Fourier transform which early defined by V. Namias and published a book on that field
He published more than 400 papers and 5 books Optical Super Resolution Z. Zalevsky and Doctorate. Mendlovic, Springer (2002).
Integrated Nanophotonic Devices", Z. Zalevsky and I. Abdulhalim, Elsevier (2010).
Coherent Light Microscopy: Imaging and Quantitative Phase Analysis, P. Ferraro, A. Wax, Z. Zalevsky, Springer (2011) Zalevsky established several optical companies, in 1998 he established the Civcom Limited. which is a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of cost-saving Opto-electronic components and modules. The company was sold to the Brazilian Padtec corporate in 2008 for $80M. He also established Explay, that was one of the pioneers in pico-projectors field In 2004 he established Xceed Imaging Limited.
The company is developing a new physical lens for EDOF. In 2011, Zalevsky"s optical heartbeat monitor was selected as one of the "Israel"s top 45 greatest inventions of all time".
Zalevsky has more than 50 patents in the field of optics including the Kinect motion sensing and the Opto-Phone.
Married Anat Bashan, October 9, 1997.
