Biography

Ely Merzbach was born in 1950 in Paris, where he attended École Yabné. He immigrated to Israel at the age of 17, studying for a year at Yeshivat Be'er Ya'akov and then enlisting in the Nahal Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces. He obtained a B.Sc. in mathematics and statistics and an M.Sc. in mathematics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and completed his doctoral studies in 1979 at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

Academic career

After working as a postdoctoral fellow at Paris 6 and the École Polytechnique, Merzbach joined the faculty at Bar-Ilan University in 1980, becoming full professor in 1993.

His research focuses on point processes theory, measure theory, stochastic geometry, and applications thereof.[1][2]

He served as head of the Bar-Ilan's Department of Mathematics and Computer Science from 1991, academic head of Ariel University from 1996 to 1997, and was elected dean of the Faculty of Exact Sciences at Bar-Ilan in 1997.[3]

gollark: I managed to get a decent computer cheaply by trawling ebay for used laptops for a while, though this is probably not for everyone.
gollark: You can just set mouse sensitivity in software though.
gollark: I blame fans, then, arbitrarily.
gollark: The only part which deals with high voltages is the power supply. But I guess it could be something else crackling somehow. Possibly really weird fans.
gollark: That's generally what generates ominous crackling noises for me.
