Avi Messica
Avi Messica (עברית: אבי מסיקה) (born 1962) is an Israeli entrepreneur and inventor who specializes in semiconductors\quantum devices, optics, and management[1][2][3]. He is the co-founder of Memlink[4], Clareo Photonics, Kubera Financial Technologies[5], Argorhytm[6], and NeoLogic.
Biography
Messica was born in Petach-Tikva, Israel. In 1991, he gained a B.Sc. in Physics and M.Sc. in Applied Physics at the Tel-Aviv University (Cum Laude) and in 1995 he gained his Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Career
After gaining his Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science, he served as the device group manager at Tower Semiconductors. Following Tower Semiconductors, he joined as the VP of Engineering to Shellcase[7] where he led the commercialization of its wafer-level level packaging technology. This technology was licensed to a ShellCase subsidiary[8] that later was registered at the Shanghai Stock Exchange at a $1B IPO valuation.[9]
During his role at ShellCase, he worked with multiple companies such as Rambus, Seiko-Epson, and others. Following Shellcase, Messica co-founded and acted as CEO of MemLink[4] and Clareo Photonics. During his role at the latter, he invented the Trasonator, an optical transistor based on evanescent wave resonance.[10][11]
In his capacity as CEO of MemLink and Clareo Photonics, he worked with various telecom and internet equipment vendors such as Lucent, Nortel, Cisco, JDS Uniphase, and others.
Following Clareo Photonics, Messica served as the CEO of Docoop Technologies[12], a nanotechnology company that developed nanoparticle-based specialty chemicals.[13] Messica also co-founded two algotrading companies. Kubera Financial Technologies,[5] where he acted as president and CTO and stealth company Argorhythm.
In 2021 he co-founded NeoLogic[14], an advanced logic company that claims to take processors beyond Moore’s law.[15] NeoLogic is a member of the American Semiconductors Innovation Coalition.[16]
Messica owns a few patents in optics and semiconductors devices.[10][17]
Academic career
Messica gained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in physics (Cum Laude) at the Tel-Aviv university, where he worked with Prof. Abraham Katzir on infrared fiberoptics spectroscopy and sensors and published several research papers in leading academic journals.[18][19][20]
He also published several research papers in leading academic journals on the properties of mesoscopic (quantum) electronic systems and fast transistors[21][22][23][24] while working at the sub-micron center led by Prof. Moty Heibulm at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Personal life
Messica lives in Tel Mond, Israel. He is married to Asnat and they have three children.
