Ophir Flomenbom Ophir Flomenbom was born in Tel Aviv, November first, 1974. Grew up in North Tel Aviv, in the neighborhood called ‘Lamed’ (this is a Letter in the Hebrew alphabet (ל) and is the shape of the neighborhood from the eagle-view). Graduated from the “Tichon-Hadash” high school (תיכון חדש) in Tel-Aviv in 1992. Served 4 years in the IDF and related organizations (final rank: Lieutenant). BS in Biology and Chemistry, 2000; PhD in chemistry, 2005 (Tel Aviv University).


 * Worked in MIT (MA, USA), Chemistry department, in a post-doctoral position (researcher), 2005-2008.


 * Own a private scientific company, Flomenbom-BPS Ltd . The company deals with basic research in the fields of mathematical biophysics and stochastic processes and in writing software in these fields.


 * BEST scientific achievements (until September, 2011): (1) solved several new processes in the field of single file dynamics   (2) found a new solution for heterogeneous random walkers in a finite one dimensional system  (3) Found a mathematical solution for the problem of deducing a mechanism from time trajectories of individual molecules. This solution is the basis for the software RDF.    (4) reported on stretched & correlative motion of an enzyme  (in collaboration with experimentalists’ groups  )


 * During winter 2010, Ophir Flomenbom suggested establishing the Israeli Scientific Network (ISN) for solving the problem of the 'escaping brains': Israeli's scientists and MDs that moved from Israel and live abroad (the number of these individuals is about 10,000, and is considered among the highest rates (compared with country's population) in countries with an established scientific community). The ISN was suggested since the solution from officials in Israel (the so-called "virtual scientific centers", suggested in Spring 2010) looked such that it will not solve the problem of the 'fleeing brains'. The ISN started winning momentum in Spring 2011, when it becomes clear that the "virtual scientific centers" are indeed virtual, as a very small amount of 'fleeing brains' applied for the "virtual centers" (50 'fleeing brains' applied for the "virtual scientific centers", where 1200 local scientists formed the majority on the applications).
