Doctoral student Adi Anaki develops tools for delivering drugs via exosomes. Her work has earned her the CHE’s Levzion scholarship.

Earlier this month, the winners of the Israel Science Foundation scholarship were announced, and no fewer than 50 of those are from Bar-Ilan. Culminating at 40 million ILS, the scholarship funds will be divided among the winners, including four faculty members from the Faculty of Engineering.

Meet Dr. Nisan Ozana, our new faculty member who specializes in neurophotonics: a combination of electro-optics and neuroscience for clinical and functional purposes

Imagine a world where security and speed cameras can not only document accidents or crime but also call for help in real-time. Such a system was developed and successfully demonstrated at the Faculty of Engineering’s hackathon

For many animals – humans included – sight is the most dominant of senses. We are able to see an image and easily recognize objects, distinguish between night and day, comprehend what’s at the front and what’s in the back. Computers, on the other hand, still struggle to do that, despite incredible advances in the field. This is one of the challenges currently facing researchers in computer vision: extracting semantic information from an image.

Students Or Reginiano and Eliya Bronshtein’s final project on improving the capabilities of reinforcement-based algorithms using tools of formal validation has been accepted by PyCon

Ran, Alon, Alex, and Shiraz created a solution that would prevent pedestrians from being injured at crosswalks. The group has already received funding for a prototype that would be implemented at the university, and later throughout the city of Ramat Gan

Itai, Noam, Elai, Tamir, and Elin came up with a communication system for public transportation which will reduce instances of busses skipping stops, and can pave the way to autonomous public transportation

Over 200 students participated in the Faculty of Engineering’s main hackathon, held earlier this month and organized in its entirety by students. Noam Shamla, one of the event’s organizers, shares the A-to-Z of a great hackathon

Want to improve the quality of life in your city? Have a revolutionary idea that could upgrade day-to-day processes in your city or at your university? The Faculty of Engineering is delighted to invite students to sign up for the hackathon, collaborate, experiment, and develop new solutions that tackle the challenges of modern smart cities. The event, sponsored by Intel, will take place on June 2nd.

Meet Dr. Ofir Lindenbaum, who specializes in Machine Learning and develops algorithms that can improve scientific research in almost any field—from discovering new drugs for cancer, to predicting floods

Republic of Kosovo’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, Ms. Donika Gërvalla, VISITED THE Faculty of Engineering this month. Minister Gërvalla met with Dean Zalevsky to discuss a possible collaborative program with students from Kosovo. The Kosovo students will attend the Faculty of Engineering’s lessons via Zoom, in order to improve their training in digital engineering. 

Some 50 new immigrants from Russia and Ukraine, participants of the Jewish Agency’s SELA program, visited Bar Ilan University and learned about their options for a bachelor’s degree. The tour, organized by the International School at Bar Ilan, the prospective students were advised about programs offered in English and the tracks offered at the Faculty of Engineering.
