Rodriguez, who earned his BSc at the Faculty of Engineering, was the lead author of a paper on interference mitigation in communication systems via deep learning. The paper was presented at the 2026 International Conference on Communications by his supervisor, Dr. Amir Weiss, and drew considerable interest

Trop's research, supervised by Dr. Boris Desiatov, explores thin-film electro-optic material platforms. The scholarship was awarded to Trop for developing an innovative three-dimensional optical phase array for manipulating light beams

Throughout her career, Faculty of Engineering alumna Coral Cohen Zolkov has repeatedly encountered questions about breaking into industry and building a meaningful career. That is why she created a podcast that offers practical insights and experience from industry and entrepreneurship through conversations with accomplished women leaders.

The ceremony celebrated 36 prize winners, some of whom are on reserve duty. "The fact that we are standing here today is proof that academic resilience and national resilience go hand in hand," said student representative Elad Cohen

The Faculty of Engineering was well represented in this year's conference. Faculty members and students showcased their research and participated in panels and professional discussions. Prof. Amos Danielli and Prof. Sharon Gannot chaired professional sessions. 

The event was born of a special collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, created with the goal of pushing boundaries and nurturing the next generation of intelligent agents. The initiative was led on behalf of the Faculty by Dr. Ofir Lindenbaum and Dr. Alexandra Simanovsky

The prize is awarded to outstanding doctoral students for the 2027 academic year. Sarah's research, supervised by Prof. Moti Fridman, focuses on quantum optics and temporal optics, and on how light can be controlled in time as well as space.

ICASSP is the leading international conference of the signal processing community. Dr. Weiss's papers addressed task-oriented compression that preserves information critical for direction-of-arrival estimation, and a novel algorithmic framework for an innovative digitization architecture for handling signals with a wide dynamic range

Dr. Yoli Shavit is a member of a consortium that is developing an integrated AI model for materials science that will enable dramatic acceleration in new materials development. She is responsible for the AI architecture intended to link entirely different types of data

The program is intended for outstanding students who seek a practical profession alongside in-depth theoretical knowledge. The program's goal is to train graduates to think like mathematicians, build like engineers, and integrate into a world where computing systems advance at an unprecedented pace

The prestigious award was presented to Prof. Fish at the ChipEx conference, an event dedicated to Israel's semiconductor and AI industries. The award recognizes his significant contributions to the field, his groundbreaking research, and spearheading the EnICS Laboratories as a national hub for hardware innovation

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
