Learn MoreWith expertise in computer architecture and electronic circuit design, he is working to build the computers of the future. Inspired by the human brain, Prof. Kvatinsky is developing computers that have structures and computational models similar to neural networks. This research combines new semiconductor technologies, such as memristors, with new architectures that are fundamentally different from conventional computer architecture (i.e., not based on a processor and memory). These computer structures have significantly better energy efficiency and faster computation, and they enable new applications such as artificial intelligence. As a member of the Technion Faculty Ambassador Program, Prof. Kvatinksy shares his…

Professor Gideon S. Grader joined the Technion Faculty of Chemical Engineering in 1989, and served as the dean from 2016 to 2020. In 2007, he became the founding director of the Nancy and Stephen Grand Technion Energy Project (GTEP), which aims to ensure the university’s role as a key player in energy research; he held that role until 2015. Prof. Grader’s research aims to develop clean technologies that will decarbonize our economy and prevent global climate change. Focuses include the development of ceramics for energy applications, combustion of non-carbon fuels, and hydrogen generation. One project has centered on using advanced…
She is a member of the Information Science field at Cornell University. Dr. Ju comes to Cornell Tech from the Center for Design Research at Stanford University, where she was Executive Director of Interaction Design Research, and from the California College of the Arts, where she was an Associate Professor of Interaction Design in the Design MFA program. Her work in the areas of human-robot interaction and automated vehicle interfaces highlights the ways that interactive devices can communicate and engage people without interrupting or intruding. Dr. Ju has innovated numerous methods for early-stage prototyping of automated systems to understand how…
Prof. Sivan is married to Yael, a father of three, and a grandfather of five who was born in Haifa, Israel. He earned a B.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics, an M.Sc. both (cum laude), and a Ph.D. in Physics (summa cum laude) from Tel Aviv University. In 1991, after three years at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, Prof. Sivan joined the Faculty of Physics at the Technion where he currently holds the Bertoldo Badler Chair. His early scientific career focused on the physics of miniature electronic devices at low temperatures where quantum mechanics dominates…
Assistant Professor Meytal Landau is a member of the Technion Faculty of Biology. Her research focuses on protein structure-function relationships to better understand diseases and how to treat them.
