Yair Moshe - Biographical
Information
I am currently pursuing the Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of
Haifa, Israel, under the supervision of Dr. Hagit Hel-Or and Prof. Yacov Hel-Or. My
research deals with video analysis and understanding. I received the B.Sc.
degree in Computer & Software Engineering in 2002 from the Technion -
Israel Institute of Technology. I received the M.Sc. degree in Computer Science
in 2008 from the University of Haifa, Israel.
Since 2002 I have been an engineer in
the Signal and Image Processing Laboratory (SIPL). My work involves varied academic
and educational activities such as supervising undergrad student projects,
writing and supervising undergrad student experiments, involvement in research
activities, connection with industry, maintaining and passing the gained
knowledge and experience in the lab in the areas of Digital Signal Processors, MATLAB
& Simulink and other applications, supervising the development of the SPDemo and SIPER software tools ….
During 1997-1998 I worked in Pythagor,
a startup company that produced quality assurance software. I worked there as a
programmer and as a software engineer.

Teaching
Some courses
I have created and gave during the years:
- 1997 (MALAM): PC technician course. 100 hours.
- 2001 (Mediatech college): MCSD (Microsoft
Certified Solution Developer) course. Covering C, C++ and the Microsoft .NET
platform. Actually, as far as I know, I was the first in the northern
Israel to teach the .NET architecture. 430 hours
- 2002-current
(Technion, Dept. of Electrical Engineering): Course 046271 - Object Oriented Programming
and Design.
This course has been created by Gabi Zodik and me and is given by both of
us since 2002. The course covers main themes of OOP, software design, and
design patterns. The Java programming language is used.
- 2005-current (various
places): Various courses in the subjects of C, C++, Java, and software
engineering.
- 2005-current: Image
& video compression course (various places). A course that I have co-created
and gave in various places together with Nimrod Peleg. Deals with the principles
of image & video compression as well as industry standards such as JPEG, MPEG-1/2/4, H.261/3, H.264/AVC. Also covers other image and video
processing topics such as image and video quality assessment.
The undergrad
experiments that I’ve co-created can found here.
I have also
written few presentations and documents on less-known
aspects of MATLAB & Simulink (some of them can be found here).
In SIPL I
