Review: Reviewed with limitations
Proposed capability matches, not confirmed relationships. Scores are analyst judgments with low forecast confidence; researcher interests, capacity and feasibility need confirmation.

Connection 1
Zeev Zalevsky
Original proposal
Proposal hypothesis: Lewi's metasurface design and Zalevsky's super-resolution and nanophotonics meet on compact imaging with controlled angular response.[67][68][116][117][138]
First test and score details
First test
Proposed first test: Compare a simulated metasurface imaging element with a conventional aperture over fixed angles; measure reconstruction error and tolerance to aberration.
Score components

- 2
- feasible first test
- 3
- topic overlap
- 4
Why this rank
Rank 1/11; fit 9/10 (4 topic overlap + 2 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). Preserved original co-membership proposal in o06. No strictly higher-scoring candidate displaces this original. Substantial optics overlap reduces complementarity; any diagnostic gain requires a separate application test. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.
Conditions
Analyst proposal hypothesis, not an established collaboration, commitment, evidence-confidence rating or assessment of researcher quality; confirm participation and access before work. Original initiative conditions remain: o06 Tomer Lewi: Conditional later role: add a photonic component only if the baseline study identifies an optical bottleneck that it can address. o06 Zeev Zalevsky: Conditional later role: assess an imaging/readout change only if it targets the dominant measured bottleneck.

Why this rank

Why this rank
Rank 3/11; fit 8/10 (3 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 2 feasible first test). Preserved original co-membership proposal in o06. An added candidate, Boris Desiatov (9/10), ranks above this original because its stated pair-specific roles and first test score higher; this original is limited as follows: The original photonic addition is conditional on a demonstrated optical bottleneck and plausible fabrication tolerances. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.
