I joined  the school of computer science at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya in 1999. I am the Deputy Dean of the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science.  I finished my Ph.D. in 1994 at the Department of Computer Science at the Weizmann Instisute of Science, Rehovot. During the years 1993-1994 I was a Post-doctoral fellow, at the Robotics group of Oxford University. From 1997-1998 I was a  post-doctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science. I spent the years 2004-2007 on sabbatical in Sydney at NICTA and UNSW.

My main research interest include human vision, computer vision, and applications of computer vision to multimedia systems.    I am looking into high-level visual tasks, such as face recognition, object recognition, and tracking and animating facial expressions. I am also looking into problems of shape recovery of  smooth surfaces with no texture. My new research areas are distributed vision where many cameras can cooperate as a distributed system to robustly handle vision tasks, and data analysis from multi-sequences.
