Prof. Danielli, who specializes in diagnostics, is partaking in two groundbreaking international research projects. He was awarded the NSF-BSF grant for his research on detecting infectious Flavaviral diseases, and the Horizon IHI grant for his research on detecting and preventing heart disease among oncology patients

Presented by the Committee for Higher Education, the scholarship program integrates outstanding researchers into academia. Dr. Tzror-Azankot joined Prof. Rachela Popovtzer's lab as a research fellow and will continue her research on developing radioactive nanoparticles for cancer treatment

Dr. Shir Hochwald-Liber, a postdoctoral student at Prof. Rachela Popovtzer's lab, attended a first-of-its-kind conference aimed at promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in personalized medicine. In her research, Dr. Hochwald-Liber develops a revolutionary biochip that helps with noninvasive early detection of gastrointestinal diseases

Edri Fraiman, a student of Prof. Alex Fish, is developing hardware inspired by biological systems. At the conference, she demonstrated an iontronic integrated circuit: a circuit based on nanofluidic components that enables electrical control of ion movement within a solution.

The program aims to reshape academic curricula and adapt them to the shifting technological reality, specifically, the AI revolution. Prof. Moti Fridman, head of the project, says it is an opportunity to consider the characteristics of tomorrow's engineers, and which tools the faculty can offer them

Noam, who is currently completing her master's studies, has been accepted into a prestigious program that nurtures research MDs. In the course of her work with Dr. Shahar Alon, she developed technology that allows the mapping of organoids in patients with neurological disorders

Ariel Ashkenazy, a PhD student of Prof. Dror Fixler and Prof. Eliahu Cohen, will be moving to California this year to conduct his post-doctoral research. His research on quantum optics focuses on broadband entangled  photons

No fewer than 202 undergraduate and 50 graduate students received their diplomas in a graduation ceremony held earlier this month. "You persevered, came back to school, completed your projects, passed your exams successfully, and made it to this incredible moment. Such pride!" said Prof. Orit Shefi in her speech

Ariel Ashkenazy, a PhD student of Prof. Dror Fixler and Prof. Eliahu Cohen, attended a one-off conference marking 100 years of quantum science. During the conference, he gave a talk about a feasible implementation of the photon-number splitting attack on quantum communication protocols

Seven researchers from the Faculty of Engineering won prestigious grants in the past few weeks. "Winning these grants is a testament to the significance of your research and its potential impact. It is a seal of honor recognizing your effort, curiosity, and creative thinking," said Faculty Chief Administrative Officer, Dr. Yosef Talyosef

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
