Research Experience
- During 1975-1985, he was with the Communications Research Labs, in the capacity of a Senior Research Engineer. Since 1986 he has been with the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, where he is now a Distinguished Professor and holds the William Fondiller Chair of Telecommunications.
Education
- Received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, in 1975, 1981, and 1986 respectively.
Background
- Research interests encompass a wide spectrum of topics in information theory, communications and networking. Special focus on network and multi-user information theory, modern communication networks (cloud and fog radio networks), information and signal processing (information-estimation), information bottleneck problems in communications and learning, sparse communication models and non-orthogonal (NOMA) systems, modern coding (LDPC, Polar, Turbo) and modulation combined with coding and iterative algorithms, information rates in constrained channels and systems, and information-theoretic aspects of optical communications.
Miscellany
- IEEE Life Fellow, URSI Fellow, Member of the Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering.
