Assoc. Prof. Alon Grinberg Dana Takes Chemical Engineering into the AI Era

Assoc. Prof. Alon Grinberg Dana of the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering will take a prominent role in the Technion’s AI Days, leading a series of workshops and participating in a research session focused on the growing role of artificial intelligence in learning, research, and advanced academic workflows.

As part of the program, Grinberg Dana will lead two AI Fluency workshops, an advanced session exploring AI capabilities, autonomous agents, and sophisticated workflows, and will participate in a Technion-wide session dedicated to the integration of AI in research.

During the research session, he will present “Pioneering the ‘AI Scientist’ at the Technion: A Dual-Lane Agentic Architecture for Autonomous Discovery in Reactive Chemical Systems,” highlighting new approaches that combine artificial intelligence with experimental research to advance autonomous scientific discovery.

Grinberg Dana’s research lies at the intersection of chemical engineering, software engineering, and quantum chemistry. His group develops open-source, AI-driven tools for predicting the behavior of real-world reactive systems, with the goal of accelerating chemical research and development through the integration of computational models and autonomous wet-lab validation.

The group’s research addresses challenges in sustainable fuels and energy, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry, demonstrating how AI and computational approaches are becoming an increasingly important part of the chemical engineer’s toolbox.

For the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Alon’s extensive participation in the Technion’s AI Days is both a source of pride and a compelling example of where the field is heading: toward a new generation of chemical engineering that brings together scientific understanding, experimentation, computation, and intelligent autonomous systems.

We are proud to have Alon as part of our faculty and to see his work helping shape the future of chemical engineering.

Featured in Haaretz: Prof. Hossam Haick’s Vision for Detecting Disease Before Symptoms Appear

A new feature in Haaretz magazine explores the scientific vision of Prof. Hossam Haick, a faculty member at the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion, to develop a smart patch that could one day detect diseases in the body before symptoms appear.

The article presents Prof. Haick’s personal and professional journey, and highlights how groundbreaking research in chemical engineering, nanotechnology and sensor technologies may contribute to the future of medicine by enabling early, accessible and non-invasive diagnosis.

We congratulate Prof. Haick on this feature and on the recognition of his scientific achievements. We are proud of his contribution to Israeli and international research that connects science, technology and medicine, and is transforming the way we think about diagnosis and prevention.
