About

Arie Jacobi is an assistant professor in the faculty of Business Administration at the Ono Academic College and Peres Academic Center, Israel. He received his B.Sc. in Computer Science, Mathematics, and History of Art from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1985 – Cum laude). M.Sc. in Computer Science, from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1988 – Magna cum laude), specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Graphics, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1995) specializing in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and approximation methods.

Dr. Jacobi is a researcher in mathematical modeling, Healthcare Information Systems, Social Networks, and Approximation Theory. His academic experience enables him to conduct interdisciplinary research by integrating tools from various areas, such as Numerical Analysis, Approximation Theory, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, data science, and multi-dimensional data visualization technologies. And he applies these tools to other fields that need advanced mathematical modeling and solutions, such as, Finance and Healthcare and Medical Informatics. As part of his academic work, Dr. Jacobi has published in well-established journals, and he is involved in international research collaborations.
