In honor of International Women’s Day, the Faculty of Engineering hosted a panel with female alumni in key positions in the industry. They spoke about breaking the glass ceiling, balancing children and a career, and the advice they would have given their younger selves.

Teeni, working under the supervision of Prof. Eli Cohen, will use his scholarship to spend two months in the U.S. where he will be exploring the relationship between the algebraic structure of computational problems and the ability to achieve quantum advantage in solving them

Prof. Gelles specializes in distributed computing and coping with errors, failures and interferences in computations performed over networks with multiple computers. He recently developed a method for overcoming defects that disrupt an entire network

The event, designed to get together and allow new students to meet and mingle, was orchestrated by the Faculty’s Student Council and held on the last week of the semester. It was a night to remember!

Ph.D. student Shmuel Burg and Dr. Michael Margulis of Prof. Amos Danielli’s Optical Imaging and Biosensing Lab presented their virus detection patents at the SPIE conference. The patents were successfully tested during COVID-19 outbreaks.

Twelve researchers were awarded the Rector’s award for scientific innovation, and two of them hail from the Faculty of Engineering: Prof. Carmit Hazay, for her research in the field of zero-knowledge proofs, and Dr. Tomer Lewi, for his work with chalcogenide optical materials.

Prof. Gonen Singer specializes in developing mathematical models in Machine Learning for solving data-based business problems in a dynamic environment subject to various constraints. He believes that the synergy between academia and industry forms the foundation of innovation and progress, a principle that shapes and drives his research.

The award was presented to Tzroya at the SPIE conference for his research on an innovative optical method for detecting and classifying contaminants in water

The article discusses the biolistic delivery of drug-carrying particles for targeted treatment of cancerous tumors. Its clinical application could help develop new methods for improving clinical photodynamic treatment.
