Eitan Yaakobi, PhD, Associate Professor

Prof. Yaakobi received bachelor’s degrees in computer science and mathematics, as well as his master’s degree in computer science, from the Technion, and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, San Diego. From 2011 to 2013, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the California Institute of Technology and at UC San Diego. He returned to the Technion as a faculty member in 2014.

His research interests include information and coding theory with several applications for non-volatile memories, associative memories, DNA storage, data storage and retrieval, and more. His current work on advancing coding solutions for memories and systems and their application in state-of-the-art storage systems includes a focus on the theory and practicality of DNA storage systems.
