    Amit is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Computer Science at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he runs the Hybrid Design Lab. In his research, he studies human-computer interaction, design, craft, and cooking, exploring the divergent realms of emerging computational design technologies and traditional hand-hewn skills. Amit has a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Media Arts and Sciences from the MIT Media Lab, an M.Des. in product design from Bezalel, and a B.Sc. in Communication System Engineering from Ben-Gurion University, Israel.

    Amit Zoran is a post-doc in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. He holds a PhD and an MS in Media Arts and Science from the MIT Media Lab, an MDes in product design from Bezalel, and a BSc in Communication System Engineering from Ben-Gurion University, Israel. In his work and research, Zoran explores the two divergent realms of emerging computational technologies and traditional hand-hewn skills. He wishes to develop a new way of thinking about these polarities: the digital machine, as generator of control and efficacy, and the human hand, as preserver of subjective intentions and expressivity.
