About Me
I am a Tark chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Technion. I received the B.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees from EE Technion in 1980 and 1984 respectively.
- In 1981 I co-founded Micronet Ltd., a provider of mobile data-entry terminals.
- In 1985-94 I was a member and the manager of Network Architecture and Algorithms at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, NY . We built the world first triple play packet network (and hardware router) and optical resilient packet rings (used at IBM – Serial Storage Architecture).
- In 1994-5 I founded and managed the high-speed networks group at Sun Microsystems Labs.
- In 1998 I co-founded Viola Networks the provider of NetAlly – a distributed network diagnostic platform (acquired by Fluke Networks in 2008).
