I edited a book recently, on Markov Decision Processes, together with Eugene Feinberg.

Other Stuff

Since July 2000 I am (too much) involved in the Technion Matmon (ERP) project.

 

I also serve (as of 2002) as the deputy vice president for information systems---meaning that I am in charge of the administrative computer applications at the Technion including Finance, Logistics, Research Management and more. My boss for 2002---2005, Prof. Micha Rubinovitch, retired. The Technion threw a party in his honor, replete with speeches.

Two Israeli scientists are awarded the Nobel prize (previous Israeli Nobel laureates were in Literature and Peace). They are - Professor Aaron Ciechanover and Professor Avram Hershko, of the faculty of Medicine, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. They share the 2004 Nobel prize for Chemistry with Irwin Rose, of UC Irvine. See the link above for details and links.

Files for the program John Gillis and I wrote, to assist associate editors in handling papers, are in the CARS subdirectory.

Hobbies: I take table-tennis fairly seriously. I host a site related to the Technion Table Tennis team.

I gave a few lectures on some mathematical aspects in the Talmud. The first lecture was delivered on February 1999 to a class of high-school juniors, who seemed to love it. A shorter lecture was delivered as part of my army unit(!), in May 1999.Locations of visitors to this page
