Summer Research
General info
The Faculty of Chemistry takes part in the Technion Summer Research Program in Science and Engineering (1–31 July 2027). Outstanding undergraduate students join a leading laboratory, carry out a research project under the personal guidance of a faculty member, and present their findings to the research group at the end of the program.
Accepted students receive a scholarship covering accommodation, health insurance, lab work, mentorship and social activities. Questions: onlinesummer@technion.ac.il.
Required background
Varies by lab and is listed with each project.
Professors & projects
Participating professors and research projects for summer 2027 will be published in early December 2026. Each listing will include the research field, the proposed project and the required background.
Chemistry
The Schulich Faculty of Chemistry covers the full breadth of modern chemistry. Its groups range from organometallic catalysis and protein chemical synthesis to semiconductor nanostructures and ultrafast light-matter interactions.
Research areas
Catalysis and synthesis · Chemical biology and protein synthesis · Nanostructures and materials chemistry · Physical and theoretical chemistry · Ultrafast and laser-matter interactions
Graduate coordinator
Galit Weizman (Teaching Affairs Coordinator) – chgalit@technion.ac.il
Example researchers
- Mark Gandelman – organometallic and metal-free catalysts, asymmetric catalysis.
- Efrat Lifshitz – semiconductor nanostructures and magneto-optical methods, with applications in lasers and solar cells.
- Ashraf Brik – chemical synthesis of homogeneous, post-translationally modified proteins.
