I am a Professor of Electrical Engineering and incumbent of the Systems and Control Chair at Tel Aviv University, Israel.
Note: I'll be giving an online course entitled The Ribosome Flow Model – Theory and Applications during May 12 - 16, 2025. This is organized by Prof. Arvind Kumar Gupta. For detailed information and registration, please see:

Research
My research interests are in dynamical systems, control theory and systems biology.
Specific topics include:
Stability analysis of switched systems;
Control-theoretic properties of Boolean networks;
The theory and applications of compound matrices in dynamical systems and control and, in particular, k-contractive systems, alpha-contractive systems, and k-cooperative systems;
Mathematical modeling and analysis of ribosome flow along the mRNA molecule.
