Ariel Hirszhorn
Faculty of Electrical Engineering
2007-2011

BSc in Electrical Engineering at the Technion.

Participated in the Technion Excellence Program: 2007-2011

As a student in the Program, Ariel took advanced courses already in the early stages of his studies, which enabled him to finish the degree one semester earlier.

He also carried out 2 projects, as part of his EE studies:

Project A was conducted in the Network Biology Research (NBR) Laboratories under the supervision of Aviv Tamar from Prof. Ron Meir's group. The project target was to explore communication emergence in multi-agent scenario using Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms.

Project B was conducted in the Signal Processing Lab (SIPL) under the supervision of Ronen Talmon from Prof. Israel Cohen's group. The project goal was to enhance speech corrupted by transient interferences using the Optimally-Modified-Log-Spectral-Amplitude (OM-LSA) algorithm. Following the successful results of the project on“Transient Interference Suppression in Speech Signals Based on the OM-LSA Algorithm” which was accepted to the IWAENC 2012.

Recommendation to Program participants: "Invest the first years of your studies in deep understanding of the academic courses you take. Only then, try to find a research topic of your choice."
