Part time researcher at the School of Engineering and Computer Science, the Hebrew University of  Jerusalem.

 

About Me:

I studied at the Hebrew University. I have received my Ph.D at 2001. My Ph.D advisor was Prof. Danny Dolev.  

In the last 17 years I’ve combined research activities at the Hebrew University with the Hitech industry. I’ve worked for several companies, the latest of was Marvell (for 10 ! years). I help the position of Director of System and Software Architecture at the Tel Aviv branch of Marvell (previously known as Marvell Software Solutions Israel or MSSI, which was actually a company named Radlan that was acquired by Marvell). Later on I was the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Marvell Tel Aviv branch. During these years I’ve worked on many areas, among which are L2/L3/L4 switches that are based on the Marvell switching ASICs and Marvell CPUs (Arm based), Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices for the home and the small office, Internet Gateways, Access Points (WiFi), Large Scale Storage devices etc.

Currently I am working part time as a researcher in the Hebrew University and collaborate with Prof. Danny Dolev on various research areas. I also am looking for new business opportunities and working on my some ideas that may result in new interesting business enterprises.

My main areas of interest include:
