Wow are DB passengers really into computer science or what
Ever since I was 19, all I wanted to do was be a scientist at an Israeli university. Today, I learned that I will be able to do it for as long as I wish, in the BEST department, and that I have been promoted to Associate Professor. A dream come true :)

TecSE lab is still around for this last day of SPLASH, come chat with us!
Luckily there's the money to partially balance the attitude
Reliving inspiring moments from our 2025 Interdisciplinary Science Summit with @Caltech.
In The Pivot Point, Schmidt Science Fellows and Polymaths shared bold pivots that sparked interdisciplinary science, from nano-neuro tech to intelligent systems.

What an unexpected and pleasant surprise is receiving the Israel Chemical Society Excellent Young Scientist Prize. Thank you!
Would have never happened without my amazing students and incredible department and colleagues.

Weβre recruiting PhD students & postdocs excited about nonlinear dynamics and the physics of living systems. Help us spread the word!
π’ New #preprint alert! Our review "RNA Dynamics and Interactions Revealed through Atomistic Simulations" is now available on arxiv.org/abs/2507.08474 ! Written by @bussigio.bsky.social and @ollyfutur.bsky.social
Very few things make me prouder than having Jacob and @yotamfe.bsky.social's paper published today in JCP in the special issue honoring one of my personal heroes, Abraham Nitzan.
Abe is a giant of theoretical chemistry (in Israel and globally) and an inspiration to us all.

And paper #2 here: Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials doi.org/10.1103/mvrj...
Read open access paper #1 here: Breaking mechanical holography in combinatorial metamaterials doi.org/10.1103/wtgy...
Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials combined rigorous mathematical analysis with Yotam Feldman and Guy Cohenβs ability to translate our questions on mechanical incompatibility within the metamaterial to a constraint satisfaction problem.
Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials started from Naomi Spiroβs undergraduate summer project and Ofri Paltiβs highschool final project. Breaking the link between the lattice's boundary & inside allows to design deformation texture on the entire boundary.
Our two sister papers on combinatorial metamaterials published today in @physrevresearch.bsky.social, a result of a fantastic SKCM2 collaboration with Chaviva Sirote-Katz at Tel Aviv and TamΓ‘s KΓ‘lmΓ‘n at Tokyo shokef.tau.ac.il
What if mental health support could be as flexible as the lives we lead? Our 2023 Fellow Asim Gazi is building intelligent algorithms to help wearable devices, like smartwatches, provide real-time support, bridging critical gaps in mental healthcare. #mentalhealth www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z59...
I'm going to do some writing today
Driven by her grandmother's experience, our 2023 Fellow Coco Newtonβs work is focused on delivering effective dementia treatment to everyone. She pivoted from neuroscience to systems engineering to help build a better healthcare system. π½οΈExplore her #research story www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiLT...

I can say from personal experience that this video is not quite as good as listening to Vesna for 14 minutes straight but it's still extremely fabulous
βIf weβre able to listen to that conversation, I think weβll be able to understand what they need and when they need it.β Vesna Bacheva, a 2023 Schmidt Science Fellow, bridges engineering and plant biology to decode how plants communicate. π¬Watch our latest film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxs...
Confession to an editor! #tcteac with EMBO editor @tlemberger.bsky.social
Inspired by her familyβs roots in sustainable aquaculture in Mexico, our 2022 Fellow Naomi Arita Merinoβs interdisciplinary research blends personal passion with cutting-edge science to address food insecurity worldwide. Watch our latest film: youtu.be/EPxaTDhtNLI
Had a great time talking with Martin about the various astonishments I've experienced while thinking hard on invariant inference and finding myself studying learning theory. Also: SAT solving for metamaterials w/ @yairshokef.bsky.social, and the joys of feeling stupid. Hope you'll enjoy it.
A new blog post is out:
