Alumni Masters Students

This is a partial list: Masters students who went on to do a Ph.D. in the group are listed as alumni Ph.D.. All Masters theses are available on the publications page.

  • Rivka Vizen (2023, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) worked on goal recognition preferences in humans. Co-advised by Jeff Rosenschein of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
  • Karen Katz (2023) worked on competitive multi-swarm robot systems.
  • David L. Krongauz (2023) worked on reductionist vision-based swarm collective motion models. Co-advised by Amir Ayali of Tel Aviv University.
  • Elad Mintzer (2022) worked on data-mining of sequential behavior patterns from logs of actions.
  • Shify Treger (2022) worked on models of human goal recognition. She developed new goal recognition algorithms that use rationality as a basis for recognition, together with a plan library.
  • Alon Zanbar (2022) worked on on data science of software engineering in robotics and AI. His work shows AI software is different than other categories. Thesis title: Empirical Evaluation of Autonomous Agents Software using Code Metrics.
  • Eden Hartman (2022) worked on game theory and reinforcement learning in robot swarms. Her thesis’s title is Swarming Bandits: A Rational and Practical Model of Swarm Robotic Tasks
  • Mika Barkan (2020) worked on predictive plan-execution monitoring for layered plans. Her work shows how robots can detect failures early, so they can re-plan as soon as needed.
  • Yinon Douchan (2018, Tel Aviv University) worked on reinforcement learning in multi-robot swarms, showing them to be acting rationally (in theory and practice). Co-advised by Avraham (Avi) Seifert.
  • Inbal Wiesel (2016) worked on programming languages for programmable nanorobots (molecular robots). Co-advised by Ido Bachelet and by Noa Agmon.
  • Ilan Lupu (2015) worked on Optimal Construction of Control Graphs in Multi-Robot Systems. Co-advised by Noa Agmon.
  • Limor Marciano (Bagizada) (2013) worked on the use of Petri-nets as a representation for multi-robot control programs (plans).
  • Shahar Kosti (2013) worked on single-operator control of multiple robots in exploration and search. Co-advised by David Sarne.
  • Matan Keidar (2012) worked on extremly efficient frontier detection for frontier-based robot exploration. Now Software Team Leader at Thomson Reuters.
  • Meytal Traub (2011) worked on topics in multi-robot cooperation, in particular selection of a robot (out of many) to reach a target location, and teamwork in multi-robot formations. Now working at Precise.
  • Eli Khalastchi (2011) worked on anomaly detection and diagnosis in robots and unmanned vehicles. Co-advised with Meir Kalech, Ben Gurion University, and Raz Lin. Now at the College of Management Academic Studies.
  • Asaf Shiloni (2010) worked on computational models of ant robots and elephant robots. Co-advised with Ariel Felner, Ben Gurion University, and Noa Agmon.
  • Igor Vainer (2009), worked on machine learning algorithms to classify neural activity in primate brains, treated with voltage-sensitive dyes. Co-advised by Sarit Kraus. Now at cClearly.
  • Dan Erusalimchik (2009) worked on adaptive multi-robot coordination using reinforcement learning, and its analysis using game theory.
  • Victor Shafran (2008) worked on multi-directional (multilateral) matchmaking in distributed systems, and on hybrid coverage algorithms, which optimize the use of localization procedures. Now VP Research and Development at Equalum.
  • Nirom Cohen-Nov Slapak (2008) worked on integration of multi-agent intention-recognition systems into an agent architecture. Now at Israel Aerospace Industries.
  • Gilad Armon-Kest (2007; co-advised with Meirav Hadad and Sarit Kraus) has worked on new forms of collaboration and cooperation in multi-agent systems. Now Director of Data Science at Kenshoo.
  • Einat Marhasev (2007, University of Haifa; co-advised with Meirav Hadad) worked on using variants of hidden semi-Markov models for normal and anomalous behavior recognition.
  • Ido Ikar (2007) worked on heuristics allowing simple single-robot coverage algorithms to be used in multi-robot settings. Now Software Group Manager at Friendly Robotics, Ltd.
  • Edi Shmukler (2006) worked on anytime fuzzy control.
  • Eran Shoham (2006, Technion; co-advised with Onn Shehory) worked on a variant of coalition formation, called coalition re-formation.
  • Noam Hazon (2005) worked on robust and efficient multi-robot coverage algorithms. Now faculty at Ariel University.
  • Ruti Glick (Schechter) (2005) worked on robust multi-robot formation maintenance. Now at Mobileye.
  • Inna Frenkel (2005) developed the first version of BITE, a teamwork architecture for behavior-based robots. Now at Marvell Semiconductor.
