Ora Entin was born in 1943

Ora Entin-Wohlman was born on December 21, 1943. She is married and has triplet sons.

She studied mathematics and physics at the Technion and earned a bachelor's degree in 1965. She received a master's degree in physics there in 1967. She completed her Ph.D. at Bar-Ilan University in 1973.

After her doctorate she became a lecturer at Tel Aviv University and was made a professor in 1986. She retired there as professor emeritus in 2006 and then joined Ben-Gurion University, where she became professor emeritus in 2013.

Her research covers superconductivity, electron localization, magnetism, nanoscience and spintronics. With Amnon Aharony she identified the magnetic structure of cuprates and wrote a textbook on solid state physics. She also worked on persistent currents in copper rings and on spin filters for quantum computing.
