Haim Sompolinsky (born 1949), is the William N. Skirball Professor of Neuroscience at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences[1] (formerly the Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation), and a professor of physics at the Racah Institute of Physics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

He then worked as postdoctoral fellow in the physics department at Harvard University until 1982, under the supervision of Professor Bertrand Halperin.

Sompolinsky's research in theoretical physics covered the fields of phase transitions, critical phenomena, nonlinear dynamics and the statistical mechanics of spin glasses.

He is currently the William N. Skirball Professor of Neuroscience and serves on the executive board of the newly established Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences at the Hebrew University.

He was a visiting scholar at several institutions, including Bell Laboratories and New York University, and serves on the faculty of the Methods in Computational Neuroscience Course at the Marine Biology Lab.
