Tennenholtz studied mathematics at Tel Aviv University with a bachelor's degree in 1986 and at the Weizmann Institute with a master's degree in 1997 and a doctorate in 1991 with Yoram Moses (Efficient Representation And Reasoning In Multi-Agent Systems). He was a post-doctoral student at Stanford University until 1993 . He is a professor at the Technion in Haifa in the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management. From 2008 to 2014 he was Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research in Israel and founder of the Basic Research Department. He is the Scientific Director of the Technion-Microsoft Electronic Commerce Research Center .

From 1999 to 2002 he was visiting professor at Stanford University.

He dealt with game theory, artificial social systems and algorithmic modeling of social systems, co-learning, non-cooperative computing, distributed games, axiomatic access to qualitative decision theory and ranking, reputation and trust systems, competitive security analysis and electronic commerce. Many price algorithms for online advertising at Microsoft come from him. He introduced the notion of Program Equilibrium for the analysis of Internet economics and developed one of the best Reinforcement Learning Algorithms (RMax).

He was editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research and served on the editorial board of AI Magazine .

In 2016 he received the John McCarthy Award and in 2012 the ACM-AAAI Allen Newell Award with Yoav Shoham for fundamental contributions to the interface between computer science, game theory and economics, especially multi-agent systems and social coordination . He is a fellow of the AAAI , the Society for Advancement of Economic Theory, and the Association for Computing Machinery . He received the ACM SIGART Autonomous Agents Research Award in 2012.
