Nava Setter (Hebrew: נאוה סתר; born 1949)[1] is a retired Israeli and Swiss materials scientist focusing on electroceramics including ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials, thin films and thick films of ceramics, and microsensors and microactuators.
[2][3] Setter earned a master's degree in civil engineering in 1976, at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
After working as a researcher in Haifa, she moved in 1989 to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
[4] She was named as an IEEE Fellow in 2007, "for contributions to field of ferroelectric materials, microsystems and microelectronics applications".
[6] She is the 2011 recipient of the W. R. Buessem Award of the Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics at North Carolina State University,[7] and of the 2011 achievement award of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society, "for her outstanding research on the fundamentals of ferroelectric and dielectric materials, and their applications in novel devices".
