Biography
Nutshell: Award-winning scientist Moshe Sipper is a multi-book author with 220+ scientific papers, 90+ essays, and ~40 graduate mentees.
Coconut shell: Moshe Sipper is a professor of artificial intelligence at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Israel), who holds degrees in computer science from the Technion (B.A.) and Tel Aviv University (M.Sc., Ph.D.). He previously served as a senior researcher at EPFL (Switzerland) and as a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania (USA).
His research spans deep learning, machine learning, AI, and evolutionary computation, with earlier work in bio-inspired computing, cellular computing, artificial life, robotics, and more. He has authored over 220 scientific publications and several books while supervising nearly 40 graduate students.
Dr. Sipper has served as an associate editor for several journals, organized various conferences, participated in nearly 150 conference program committees, and reviewed for close to 50 journals and funding agencies. A noted figure in AI, he has won multiple awards — including an IEEE Outstanding Paper Award and the EPFL Latsis Prize — and is recognized among the top 2% of scientists globally.
Beyond academia, Dr. Sipper is also a fiction author, cartoonist, and occasional singer.
