The Technion announced today that two well-known foundations have joined together in a collaborative effort to enhance the Technion Human Health Initiative. The undertaking will establish the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Human Health Building, which will be home to the Bruce and Ruth Rappaport Cancer Research Center. Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan said, “The construction of this building and the cancer research center housed in it is nothing less than a historic event. We are celebrating today two of the largest donations in the history of the Technion, which were made possible thanks to a first of its kind…
Dear Technion Family, The academic year 5784 will commence soon and it will be a different and sorrowful year. The three months that have passed since October 7 have been painful and challenging for the State of Israel and the Technion family. Dozens of our friends’ family members were murdered, and others were abducted. Many have been injured or killed in the war, and our hearts are filled with pain and worry. Approximately 2,500 students, faculty members, and administrative staff were called up for reserve duty, and many of them are still serving. In the spirit of Technion tradition, we…
Associate Professor Ido Kaminer of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion recently won an ERC Consolidator grant. The grants support select scientists who propose pioneering, groundbreaking research ideas – presented by the European Research Council (ERC). Prof. Kaminer and his team will use the grant to develop a theory and innovative experimental platform for a new field in electron microscopy: Q-in-PINEM. The research combines use of an electron microscope with a femtosecond pulsed laser, which is the first system of its kind in Israel and one of just a few in the…
Professor Shulamit Levenberg of the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, director of both the Technion Center for 3D Bioprinting and the Rina & Avner Schneur Center for Diabetes Research, was recently chosen as a fellow of the American National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Her nomination will be officially announced during NAI’s annual conference in North Carolina in June. Prof. Levenberg is among a handful of Israeli women scientists who have created the most innovative technologies and has registered dozens of patents. She has founded several startups, including Aleph Farms, which creates cultivated steak using cattle cells with no harm to…
Dan Shechtman (born 24 January 1941) is an Israeli scientist. He received the 2011 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his discovery of quasicrystals. He was born on 24 January 1941, in Tel Aviv, Israel. His early education laid the foundation for his later achievements in the field of science. He attended the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, where he pursued his undergraduate and graduate studies in materials engineering. His fascination with the properties of materials and crystal structures became a guiding force in his academic and professional life. Shechtman earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technion in 1966. He…
Following the lead of five other Israeli institutions of higher learning, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa this week said it will provide assistance of NIS 6,000 (~$1,564) to students who were mobilized by an emergency call-up. The grant is intended for tuition fees, dormitory rent, and other tuition-related payments, it said. “A total of 2,500 students left everything behind and were mobilized by an emergency call-up order to ensure our right to a life of security and tranquility in this country,” Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan said. “It’s important that each and every one of them knows that the entire Technion…
LIVINGSTON, NJ — Livingston resident Shayne Cytrynbaum, a junior at Golda Och Academy, recently spent a portion of his summer in Israel after being selected to attend a prestigious program called SciTech, during which he had a unique opportunity to study robotics, space, biotechnology and food engineering alongside professors at MadaTech, Israel’s National Museum of Science, and at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (also known as the “MIT of Israel”). “I truly enjoyed the SciTech program, and I am so glad that I applied and was accepted, as it really was an experience of a lifetime,” said Cytrynbaum,…
Five young researchers who joined the Technion during the 2021-2022 academic year are recipients of prestigious 2023 starting grants from the European Research Council (ERC). These grants are awarded to talented early-career scientists who completed their doctoral degrees only two to seven years ago, and have already produced excellent work, showing great promise. Charlotte Vogt, assistant professor in the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, works to solve problems of climate change and pollution by improving or inventing more sustainable processes. Metal nanoparticle-based catalysts are essential to shifting societal reliance away from fossil-fuel resources, but most are found by slow, trial-and-error processes….
Could sustainable plant-based food created at the Technion help solve world hunger and mitigate the climate crisis? The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Sustainable Protein Research Center is developing solutions to feed our growing population while cutting our carbon footprint.

A delegation of presidents and chancellors from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States visited Israel recently to assess potential partnerships with the Technion and other Israeli institutions of higher learning. The visit focused on areas of study and research that align with their missions, including technology and STEM disciplines. Memoranda of understanding were signed to facilitate study-abroad programs for their students at the Technion. Additionally, faculty members will engage in joint research projects and knowledge exchange with Technion professors and researchers. The delegation was also interested to learn more about the Technion’s renowned technology transfer…
Professor Israel Cidon, a renowned leader in network engineering and former Technion – Israel Institute of Technology faculty member and dean, recently began his tenure as the director of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute. Prof. Cidon succeeds Dr. Ron Brachman, who has held the role since 2016 and will transition out over the next few months. “Professor Israel Cidon is an esteemed computer networking researcher with extensive management experience at the Technion,” said Technion President Professor Uri Sivan. “As dean, he led the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering to significant achievements. Professor Cidon…
When asked what collaborative success between the Technion and the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute in New York City might look like five years from now, Technion Professor Ariel Orda said, “I’d love for every Technion student and faculty to see the Jacobs Institute and the Cornell Tech campus as a home away from home. And the same goes for those in the other direction.” On a mission to enhance collaboration between the Technion and the Jacobs Institute at the Cornell Tech campus, seven Technion deans visited Roosevelt Island in May 2023. The NYC campus “creates a natural bridge…
