This is the hackathon's sixth year, held as part of Adam Teman's course. This year's challenge was to construct a hardware accelerator to run the simulation Conway's Game of Life, and the solutions the students came up with can run it 100 times faster than any standard software! 

The program trains outstanding researchers for executive positions in the technological and scientific industries. Dr. Hochwald-Liber is set to head a company that commercializes technology developed in Prof. Rachela Popovtzer's lab, for detecting and monitoring gastrointestinal diseases. 

In the upcoming academic year, the Faculty of Engineering will feature a new lab in the field of deep learning and its applications. The lab, headed by Dr. Yoli Shavit, will focus on developing innovative methods for handling complex and expansive data, offering solutions to challenges of generalization and uncertainty.

Meet Dr. Shahar Somin, who recently joined the Industrial Engineering and Information Systems program. Her research focuses on uncovering both observable and obfuscated dynamics between individuals, even when information is partial, fragmented, or encrypted. She develops machine learning and temporal network analysis tools that can detect coordination, with applications in cybersecurity, finance, and combating the spread of Fake News.

Professor Naveh spearheaded the development of an innovative on-chip photospectrometer capable of measuring the light spectrum without the need for additional optical components, thanks to a combination of advanced electronic devices based on innovative materials and AI algorithms for data analysis

Danit Shifman Abukasis, a doctoral student of Prof. Gonen Singer, attended the MATHMOD 2025 conference in Vienna on aspects of mathematical modelling for systems of static or dynamic nature. She presented her research on the link between machine learning and decision making

One chip. A quantum leap.
The Hybrid Quantum Photonics Chips Lab will drive the next generation of quantum technologies—sensors, communication, and processors at room temperature, all integrated on a single chip.

The conference is the largest and best-known national conference in the field of machine learning, incorporating academia and industry. Kalyuzhner presented a chapter from a book he is co-editing with his supervisor, Prof. Ze’ev Zalevsky, about different applications of Speckle technology and how they are processed using AI

High school students at Prof. Hillel Kugler's lab wrote a joint paper on their research on formal verification of AI systems. The paper was rejected, the students began their mandatory military service, but their supervisor, PhD student Avraham Raviv, persevered and kept working on the paper – which was accepted for a conference earlier this month

Prof. Gawer, one of the world’s leading experts on the business strategy of digital platforms and ecosystems, paid a visit to the Faculty of Engineering as a guest of Dr. Hila Chalutz–Ben Gal, and met with Faculty Dean to establish collaboration

At an IEEE conference on signal processing held in Hyderabad, India, Dr. Weiss presented two papers in two separate poster sessions. A third paper was published in IEEE’s communications journal, and a fourth is due to be published in a journal on signal processing

During the event, attendants enjoyed lectures on measuring brain disorders without the need for biopsy, improving brain surgeries through active network mapping, and AI applications in protein design. Additionally, outstanding students were presented with awards for their achievements

Jonathan Svirsky, a PhD student of Dr. Ofir Lindenbaum’s, attended Interspeech 2024, a conference on speech signal science and technology. He presented his research on developing a lightweight model for distinguishing words from audio. 

The awards are presented annually by Veronika's family in memory of this groundbreaking bridge and construction engineer, with the aim of advancing and empowering young women in technological fields

In celebration of International Women’s Day, female students and faculty members were invited to participate in a morning of interpersonal communication which included mingling with leading women in the industry, a tour of the Cadence offices, and a talk by journalist Orit Navon
