He grew up in Yukutia, Russia.[2] He immigrated to Netanya, Israel when he was 13.[3] He received his PhD from Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Computer Science and was under the guidance of Prof. Dani Leshinski and Prof. Raanan Fattal.[4] Most of his research was focused on computational photography and published at ACM Transactions on Graphics at SIGGRAPH conference.

Lightricks

The company began in two apartments[7] but has since moved into the Hebrew University campus.[8] They also have offices in London,[9] Germany[10] and New York.[11] Farbman believes his role is to lead the team of developers, designers and researchers building apps that give users creative license to produce their own visual material.[12] Pictures of a sleeping Farbman went viral when they were turned into memes.[13][14]

Personal

In his spare time, he practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.[15]

gollark: Also, "your car" can produce value via driving people around and such.
gollark: Also, it's not just IP. Consider also 3D printers and other such small-scale manufacturing technologies.
gollark: You need a more coherent system for paying for works where it's hard to capture value than just "decide not to starve artists".
gollark: This is hard to distinguish. You can "make things" on a personal computer and such nowadays.
