Tamar (Tami) Tamir (born 1968) is an Israeli computer scientist specializing in approximation algorithms and algorithmic mechanism design, especially for problems in resource allocation, scheduling, and packing problems. She is a professor in the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science of Reichman University.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Tamir was born in 1968, and graduated in 1992 from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in computer science. She continued at the Technion for graduate study, earning a master's degree in 1995 and completing her Ph.D. in 2001.[2] Her doctoral dissertation, Class-Constrained Resource Allocation Problems, was supervised by Hadas Shachnai.[2][3]
While still a graduate student, Tamir worked at Intel, in the Israel Software Lab, from 1994 to 1997, and had a summer position at Hewlett-Packard. After postdoctoral research at the Technion and the University of Washington, Tamir joined the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science of Reichman University in 2004. She was vice-dean of the school from 2008 to 2012, and dean from 2012 to 2017.[2]
