Analog Converters, Transceivers & Optics
Breaking bandwidth barriers for the next generation of computing
Fun day
16/09/2025
We had a wonderful fun day with our ACTO research group — having engaging research discussions where we shared ideas and progress, followed by a refreshing walk in nature that helped us unwind and connect outside the lab. We ended the day with a warm dinner together, full of laughter, good food, and great conversation.
"Worlds of Hardware" Festival
05/11/2025
Today we attended the "Worlds of Hardware" Festival at the Technion-The Faculty of ECE (The Andrew & Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering). The event brought together members of the hardware community from academia, research, and industry for an exciting and inspiring experience.
We were happy to represent the research community, presenting posters from our graduate students and our lab that reflected our collective innovation and dedication to advancing knowledge.
