The new track was co-created with IDF professionals and offers bachelor's and research master's degrees in just five years, providing students with relevant skills to the defense and security spheres. The program aims to train leaders in the field of military technology

In a new paper accepted for publication in the prestigious IEEE Signal Processing Letters journal, Dr. Weiss shows that classical optimal compression may be significantly inferior when the goal is specifically localization, and highlights the importance of task-oriented compression design

Dr. Yatir Sadia is establishing the Laboratory for Heteroanionic Materials – relatively rare materials with enormous potential for the energy market. "There is something very enticing about synthesizing a new material that doesn't behave the way you expected it to – and then you test it, and suddenly understand why"

Due to the war, the Faculty of Engineering's 2026 Women's Day events were held online as a series of Zoom sessions featuring Faculty researchers. Participants spoke about their journeys, their research, and balancing career and family, sharing insights from their academic and professional experiences

The lectures were given as part of a two-day workshop on multi-agent artificial intelligence for controlled sensing and communication. Held in IIT Bombay, the workshop is part of a research project on communication, learning, and control funded by the Indian government

Shiran Arol Wiegand researches implementing quantum encryption (QKD) on a photonic integrated circuit; Shira Tziony researches advanced, noninvasive optical methods for monitoring the neurovascular unit

The study, conducted during the October 7 War, examines the relationship between social media information consumption overload and individual resilience during emergencies. The study highlights the importance of how users interact with the Digital Interface as a strategic tool for managing individual resilience.

Dr. Miri Blau is establishing the Quantum Photonics Laboratory in the Faculty of Engineering. Using a first-of-its-kind system in Israel, she measures light at the single-photon level, and designs and fabricates components toward a light-based quantum computer

According to Prof. Orit Shefi, the real challenge of engineering in the AI era is not only training excellent experts; it's producing engineers who are capable of shifting between disciplines, who understand broader contexts, and can develop solutions that carry technological, economic, and social significance

Bar-Ilan University's Mentorboost program connects students who also serve on reserve duty with mentors who help them find their way in the industry. "The program helps those who deserve all the help in the world, and I am grateful for the opportunity to take part," says mentor Aaron Taub

Fargion, a student of Prof. Ofir Weber, will be attending the conference and presenting a new algorithm for flattening 3D surfaces onto the 2D plane, offering faster times and better efficiency than existing options, and could significantly speed up graphics in animated films and computer games

This is the fourth scholarship that Dr. Ashkenazy, who specializes in quantum optics, has won in the past few months. He conducted his PhD under Prof. Eli Cohen and Prof. Dror Fixler, and will soon be leaving for his postdoctoral studies in California
