Academic Achievements
- Published articles in various areas including lossless source coding, lossy source coding and rate-distortion theory, information-theoretic aspects of digital watermarking, prediction and sequential decision making, universal hypothesis testing and universal decoding, Shannon theory, and more.
Research Experience
- Worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1988 to 1990; has been with the Electrical Engineering Department of the Technion since 1990; served as a consultant to Hewlett-Packard Laboratories - Israel (HPL-I) from 1994 to 2000; served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory from 1996 to 1999 and 2017 to 2020.
Education
- Received B.Sc., M.Sc., and D.Sc. degrees from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, all in electrical engineering, in 1982, 1985, and 1988, respectively.
Background
- Research interests include information theory, statistical communications, and statistical signal processing. Specifically, interested in lossless and lossy source coding, sequential prediction of time-series, relationships between information theory and statistics (such as estimation, hypothesis testing, and universal decoding under channel uncertainty). Additionally, interested in Shannon theory, particularly Shannon-theoretic secrecy, joint source-channel coding, source/channel simulation, and coding with side information.
Miscellany
- Teaching courses: Undergraduate - Introduction to Digital Signal Processing, Random Signals, Introduction to Random-Signal Processing, Introduction to Coding Theory, Introduction to Digital Communications, Statistical Physics, Fluctuations and Noise, Information Theory; Graduate - Coded Communications, Universal Lossless Data Compression, Rate Distortion Theory, Lossy Compression, and Quantization, Statistical Physics and Information Theory.
