Life

Dembo studied electrical engineering at the Technion with a bachelor's degree summa cum laude in 1980 and he received his doctorate in electrical engineering (Design of Digital FIR Filter Arrays) under David Malah at the Technion in 1986 . From 1990 he was assistant professor of statistics at Stanford (and 1992 visiting professor in the faculty of statistics in Berkeley ), 1994 to 1996 professor at Technion (department of electrical engineering) and from 1996 associate professor and from 2001 professor at Stanford in the faculty of mathematics and Statistics. Since 2012 he has been Marjorie Mhoon Fair Professor of Quantitative Science .

He deals with stochastic processes, the theory of large deviations in probability theory and applications such as neural networks or sequence analysis in genetics.

Dembo is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics . He was co-editor of the Annals of Probability (1994-2000), the Annals of Applied Probability (2000-2002), the Electronic Journal of Probability and Probability and Related Fields (2005-2010). Dembo was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid 2006 (Simple random covering, disconnection, late and favorite points).

His PhD students include Scott Sheffield and Jason P. Miller .

Dembo is a US citizen.
