Jay Fineberg (born 1956) is an Israeli scientist. He is a professor at the Racah Institute of Physics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[1] He is well-known as an experimental physicist, who has made significant contributions to various aspects of nonlinear physics, mainly in the fields of fracture (‘how things break’) and friction (‘how things slide’).[2][3]

Education and career

Fineberg studied both mathematics and physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and graduated with Bachelor’s degree in both subjects in 1981. He later went on to earn his M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1988) in physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[4] He then moved to the center for nonlinear dynamics at the University of Texas at Austin as a postdoc, where he started his career in the non-linear physics about fracture and friciton.[5][6][7][8]

Fineberg joined the Racah Institute of Physics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1992 and was appointed as a full professor in 2001.[1] Fineberg served as the head of the Racah Institute of Physics (2005-2009), and as the Vice-Dean (2009-2011) and Dean (2016-2020) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences.[1]

Research

Fineberg's research interests have been mainly focused on the physics of fracture and friction[2]. His early work includes the study of experimental nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear pattern-forming systems.[4] He discovered the localized micro-branching instabilities[8] during the fast crack propagation and validated the nonlinear propagating Solitary wave (water waves)[7] in the high-speed fracture process. Other interests include dynamics of crack propagation, crack tip singularity and crack fragmentation.[9][6][10]

Meanwhile, Fineberg developed systematic experimental methods to study shear cracks, including real-time and high spatial observation of interfacial friction and laboratory Earthquake.[11][12] He validated the linear elastic fracture mechanics at the early stage of friction[5]. He recently investigated the microscopic friction nucleation[13] and dynamics in both homogeneous and heterogeneous interfaces.[14][15][5][16]

Awards

Elected Fellow of the Israel Physical Society (2021)[17]

Stephen Timoshenko Visiting Scholar, Stanford (2019)[18]

Elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (2011)[19]

Recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant (2010-2016)[20][21]

Distinctions

Fineberg is a member of the American Physical Society[19] and the Israel Physical Society[17]. He is also involved in leading activities at the national level, including the guiding committee of the Israel Physical Society since 2018.[17]
