Prof. Meir Ariel serves as a Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University and heads the university's Space Engineering Center, an interdisciplinary hub for "new space" research focused on satellite development for scientific missions including cosmic radiation monitoring and hyperspectral environmental sensing.
His academic foundation comprises a B.Sc., M.Sc. (with honors), and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Tel Aviv University, specializing in algebraic structures of codes and fast decoding methods. Prior industry experience spans communication systems, satellite technology, and computer vision across Israeli and international high-tech sectors.
Research domains prominently feature:
- Space engineering and miniaturized satellite systems (e.g., Tevel2 nano-satellite swarm launched March 15, 2025)
- Quantum cryptography including post-quantum algebraic encryption and satellite-based quantum key distribution
- Advanced satellite communication under unstable SNR conditions
- Classical/quantum error-correcting codes with fast decoding algorithms
- Hyperspectral remote sensing for climate applications
- Optical communications and payload deployment technologies
As director of the Space Engineering Center, he oversees active projects in cosmic radiation monitoring, hyperspectral imaging, automated ground stations, and quantum encryption, while supervising graduate students in space systems development and theoretical communications research.
