معرفی
Meir Feder is a Professor in the Electrical Engineering department at Tel Aviv University holding the Information Theory Chair, and serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of EECS at MIT. His research bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications across signal processing, communication systems, and machine learning.
His scholarly focus centers on information-theoretic frameworks for data prediction, compression, and transmission. Key contributions include universal prediction algorithms that optimize data handling under uncertainty, with recent work extending these principles to neural network optimization and AI infrastructure. This research demonstrates consistent translation from theoretical breakthroughs to real-world engineering solutions.
Major recognitions include:
- IEEE Information Theory Society best paper award for universal prediction research
- Israeli Defense Forces "creative thinking" award for technological innovation
- Research Prize of the Israeli Electronic Industry presented by the President of Israel
Professor Feder maintains deep industry engagement through technology entrepreneurship. He founded Peach Networks (acquired by Microsoft) and Amimon (acquired by Vitec), developing wireless video transmission systems. His renewed machine learning focus led to co-founding Run:ai, which creates virtualization platforms for AI infrastructure acceleration. These ventures exemplify his commitment to transforming academic research into commercial technologies while securing substantial venture funding.
