Media items on David, Amnon, and Nathan

David Kazhdan, a very famous mathematician from my department with a super-human understanding of mathematics (and more) is recovering from a terrible bike accident. Here is an article about him from “Maariv.” (In Hebrew)

 

Amnon Shashua, a  computer science professor at the Hebrew University founded Mobileye fifteen years ago. Here is one of many articles about Mobileye. Mobileye helps eliminate car accidents and her sister company Orcam that Amnon also founded develops aids for the visually impaired.

Nathan Keller, now at Bar-Ilan University,  is a former Ph D student of mine working in probabilistic combinatorics and he has a parallel impressive academic career in the area of cryptology. Here is an article about Nathan from Arutz 7 (in Hebrew).   (The picture above shows Nathan with Eli Biham and Elad Barkan after their 2003 success in cracking the popular GSM cellular phone network encryption code.)
