Dr. Moran Koren obtained his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Technion in 2019, where he explored dynamic decision-making and game theory under the guidance of Prof. Rann Smorodinsky and Prof. Itai Arieli. Following his doctorate, he advanced his research as a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford and through fellowships at Harvard and Tel Aviv University.
Since 2022, Dr. Koren has been a Lecturer in Industrial Engineering and Management at Ben-Gurion University. His work focuses on economic analysis, game theory, and decision-making under uncertainty, blending theoretical insights with practical applications to design efficient and fair allocation systems.
