The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel
Academic Background
1999-2004 Stanford University. Ph.D., Computer Science (Advisor: Daphne Koller)
1999-2004 Stanford University. Ph.D. minor, Genetics

2004-2005 Fellow, Center for Studies in Physics and Biology, Rockefeller University

经历很简单，也就是04年博士毕业的，”2004-2005 Fellow“相当于做了一年的博士后。

再来看下他从05年后发的文章

做传统的生物科学不可能能多产这么多。这么多的文章可能让我们一个国家汗颜，我看了他的这些文章后，我是非常惊讶，计算生物学的文章是不是让他一个人都写了，他主要做转录相关方面的工作，最近开始做表观遗传的相关工作。这些确实是近几年研究比较多的方向，也是近几年这方面的技术发展最迅速，新的技术出现使这个方向能出来很多东西，比如芯片。应该说做计算，我们中国人也是不差的，我们有很好的数学基础，为什么我们没有跟上，是不聪明，估计不是。

他的博士导师是Daphne Koller，在斯坦福计算机系教授，主要研究方向是机器学习及计算生物学。Daphne Koller也是以色列人，16岁拿到了硕士学位，她丈夫是EFI的CEO。Eran Segal在她哪也发了几篇分量比较重的文章，nature，science等杂志都有。

我想Eran Segal应该是在Koller哪学了一整套，后来就一发不可收拾，真佩服，什么时候我们也会有这样的牛人。
