Publications, presentations, and bibliometric indicators
- More than 300 publications in internationally reputed journals (20 in Physical review letters). For a complete list see:
http://www.technion.ac.il/nimrodhp/publications/list.pdf - The first textbook ever written on Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics, N. Moiseyev, Non-hermitian Quantum Mechanics, Cambridge University Press, 2011.
- A textbook in Hebrew on Quantum Mechanics (for chemists, physicists, and engineers) N. Moiseyev, The Hebrew University Magnes Press : Quantum Mechanics : from foundations to Applications, The Hebrew University Magnes Press, (two volumes 864 pages), 2015.
- More than 4000 citations (excluding self-citations). The number of citations each year is steadily growing over the past decade indicating the contemporary nature of the research.
Special Talks
Gave many invited talks and plenary lectures in many workshops and international conferences (including ICS ACS etc) during the last three decades.
However, undoubtedly, the most special plenary lecture was in a symposium dedicated to Primo Levi, organized by the University of Luxemburg in cooperation with the Embassy of Italy and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in 2011, which was the international year of chemistry.
