Welcome to the Process Intensification and Reaction Engineering Lab!
Are you passionate about solving real-world challenges in energy, sustainability, and advanced chemical technologies?
At the PI Lab (Technion), we design and explore next-generation chemical processes that outperform conventional technologies. Our work spans diverse fields—from clean energy and environmental systems to defense and pharmaceuticals—with a strong focus on innovation and impact.
Our core research tools include:
- Process intensification by membrane reactors
- Integration of exothermic and endothermic systems
- Dynamic operation and control of reactors
- Process conceptualization, modeling, and optimization
We apply these to various applications:
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production processes
- CO2 utilization
- Distributed H2 production routes
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing based on mechanochemistry
- The defense industry
Whether you're a student or researcher, this is a place to grow, collaborate, and contribute to cutting-edge chemical engineering that shapes the future.
