3 Introduction It is my pleasure to present the JCT Faculty Research Profile for the years 2017-2021, in which you will find an overview of the numerous research accomplishments of over fifty faculty members at the Jerusalem College of Technology. These researchers are carrying out studies in the fields of mathematics, physics, computer science, computer and software engineering, telecommunications, electrical and electronic engineering, electro-optics, industrial engineering and management, bioinformatics, nursing, accounting and business administration. This volume contains over 520 scientific papers published in refereed journals, 250 papers in refereed conference proceedings, 60 book chapters and 37 patents. The JCT research staff have obtained numerous national and international research grants. In total, this volume contains a list of some 800 published scientific articles in the five-year period 2017-2021. JCT prepares its students - now numbering nearly 5,000 in fifteen departments offering both bachelors and masters degrees - for entry into Israel’s industrial and high technology communities as qualified professionals that are well trained in science and well versed in Jewish tradition and ethics. The listings that follow are a mere indication of the broad range of interests and depths of understanding of the JCT teaching staff. Finally, I wish to thank Mrs. Pnina Levy and Mrs. Karine Garibi for their editorial assistance in preparation of this volume. Professor Kenneth Hochberg Rector
