I thrive at the intersection point of four disciplines: research in novel human computer interaction, information technology, digital media and university level lecturing. The twenty five years since I programmed my first computer (a ZX-80) have been spent by me in getting a PhD in computer science, being an Air Traffic Controller, getting a BA and an MA degree in cognitive psychology, an MPS degree in Interactive Telecommunications, producing award winning and Pulitzer nominated web sites, designing and developing desktop and web based applications, developing interactive digital art installations, teaching, industry consulting, co-founding an AOL funded internet startup (Earthnoise.com) which was a pioneer in Video Sharing (5 years too early!).

I currently serve as the Executive Director of HUJI-Innovate, The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at the Hebrew University Jerusalem.
