Dr. Raphael Rom is a sabra from Tel Aviv who served in the tank corps and began his studies in Technion’s Electrical Engineering department. After earning two degrees from the Technion, he came to the U.S. and received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Utah. He then performed his post-doctorate work at the Stanford Research Institute. 

His expertise is in computer networking and distributed systems, working with the early teams that researched computer networks and brought about the Internet, and was part of the team that created the first mobile wireless computer network. Says Prof. Rom, “Innovation and the urge to discover keep me busy and happy at the Technion.”

Noga Livnat is a biomedical engineer who started her undergraduate studies at M.I.T. and transferred to the Technion after a successful freshmen year. She is a graduate student in the new program of master's studies in nanosciences and nanotechnology, a highly interdisciplinary field of science. Noga has a full scholarship that allows her to be a full-time student and researcher. In her spare time she is also a classical choir singer and a salsa dance instructor.

Amir Nahir served in the IDF for five years as an officer in the field artillery corps. He was second in command of a rocket launcher battery, and later become a team leader for an advanced fire-finding radar. He still takes an active part as a reserve officer as the division’s chief instructor. Amir earned a bachelor's degree in computer science at the Technion and is now in the last stages of his thesis research towards a master's degree in computer science. He’s received numerous awards including one for outstanding teaching assistants. He works part-time in IBM’s Haifa Research Labs. He enjoys reading, mostly history books and biographies, and occasionally thrillers. He also scuba dives.
