I graduated from the Technion with a BSc in Electrical Engineering and BA in mathematics (both summa cum laude) in 1996. After that I spent almost four years as an intelligence officer with the Israeli Defence Forces. I was involved in a few ventures in the high-tech industry. I earned my PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Technion at 2002, under the supervision of Nahum Shimkin. I was then a Fulbright postdoctoral associate with LIDS (MIT) working with John Tsitsiklis for two years. I joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in McGill University on July 2004, where I hold a Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning. I am married to Tally and father to Liam and Oliver. |
