Bio

I have received my B.Sc. (1973), M.Sc. (1977), and Ph.D (1985) in Applied Mathematics from the School of

Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University. During 1977-1985 I was also the director of the systems group

of the TAU Computation Center, overseeing the R&D and maintenance of the campus computational and

communication systems infrastructure. I was a post-doc at the Courant Institute and the Computational

Neuroscience labs of New York University (1986-1987). I have joined the School (then Department) of Computer

Science at TAU on 1989, and was its chairman (1994 -1996). I was a visiting professor at McGill University and

University of Paris.

I served on several national committees: Chairman of the National Committee for R&D in Information Technology

in the Israeli Ministry of Science (1998-2000) and Chairman of the Information Technology committee of the

Council for Higher Education (1998-2002), where I have initiated a number of large scale e-Learning projects at

the leading Israeli universities.

I was the chairman of the Israeli Association for Computer Vision and a member of the governing board of the

International Association for Pattern Recognition (1989-1993).

I was a co-founder and board member of Top Image Systems, TapGuard, e-Mobilis and Forescout technologies.
