News & Events

It was great participating in the IEEE International Conference of the Science of Electrical Engineering (ICSEE) 2026 in Jerusalem and meeting so many colleagues from all Israeli universities. We presented three talks about: Reservoir Computing, Side Channel Effects, Leaky-Integrate-Amplify-and Fire neurons

 

The retreat brought together Israel’s hardware and AI community for deep technical exchange, strategic discussions, and meaningful connections. Our research group was proud to take part in the posters session, where our students: Rishona Daniels, Nir Ben Haim, Jeries Saleh-Naser and Roy Dayan presented their latest work and engaged in insightful conversations with fellow researchers and industry leaders.

The event included talks from industry and academic leaders in the semiconductor industry and we learned of the latest developments in semiconductor technology, high-performance computing, packaging, EDA tools and AI driven innovation. Also, there were networking and poster sessions where we presented our research. There also a special musical session. Overall it was a great opportunity to learn about the latest innovation and meet new people.

We challenged our problem-solving skills in an escape room, shared a wonderful lunch together, and explored the city through a guided street-art tour by our group members, that highlighted the power of visual storytelling.

This paper reviews and compares different digital memristive processing-in-memory techniques, focusing on the implications on device engineering and reliability. The paper was led by Thomas Neuner and Henriette Padberg, and co-authored by Eilam Yalon, Lior Kornblum, and Pedram Khalili. See the paper here.

Prof. Shahar Kvatinsky guided a lively, open, and thought-provoking discussion. Dov, the inventor of the USB flash drive and alumnus of the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the Technion, shared personal stories from behind the scenes of this game-changing innovation, talked about bringing the product to market, the future of hardware, and offered our students tons of practical advice for their careers.      

Our students presented their research in the poster session. It was a great chance to meet and talk to other students, faculty, and industry leaders, and explore the future of hardware engineering and research.
