A small
sampling of our ongoing research
Medical Physics, Bio-Informatics and Bio-technology
Prof.
M. Nitzan develops noninvasive methods for the
evaluation of the arterial function, based on PPG-optical
absorption measurement of the cardiac induced pulses in skin
blood volume. The current research includes development of
methods for automatic measurement of blood pressure, the
assessment of arterial stiffness (arteriosclerosis) and
detection of diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
Dr Idit Weissman is a physical chemist working with
Bar Ilan University to establish computerized models for the
interaction of small molecules with proteins.
Electro-optics, Optical Communication and
telecommunication
Prof. N. Eisenberg and Dr. Y. Ariely are
researching
non-conventional optics, silicon photocells, and
micro-optics (design and fabrication), as well as
photo-voltaic solar energy and silicon solar cells
(fabrication and system design).
Prof. S. Bloch is working on formal methods for
hardware telecommunication testing, in collaboration with
researchers at the Université de Reims (France).
Electronics and Computer Engineering
Prof. A Solomons
is researching analog measurements, physiological,
electro-physiological measurements and sound
reproduction/simulation.
Dr. Y. Sonnenblick is developing aids for deaf and
blind people, including Hebrew speech synthesis,
text-to-speech and voice-output communication aids.
Problem Modelization and Applied Mathematics
Prof. Y. Friedman
conducts research on modeling in physics. geometrical optics
and fuzzy logic as a tool for system dynamics description
and prediction. He is also working on optimization of
production processes and in device design, performance
analysis of a company and revival times.
Dr. Th. Dana-Picard, M. A. Akivis and V. V.
Goldberg are working on abstract algebra and geometry
Technological management research
Prof. Y. Zeisel
is researching managerial accounting, activity based costing,
transfer pricing, measuring customer profitability, research
into behavior finance and decision theory in investment
management.
Prof. M. Posner works in operations research,
including: inventory systems with lost sales and variable
lead times, inventory systems with fixed shelf life and
constant lead times. |
