Yesterday I chaired the MSc exam of Ella Rabinovich, who finished her thesis in joint supervision of Avi Gal (who was my PhD student) and myself. Looking at my own record, Ella is my 21st MSc graduate, in addition to 6 PhD graduates (one person, David Botzer, has done both MSc and PhD theses under my supervision - so the list comes up to 26 people). I am doing graduate students supervision as a hobby (the Technion does not pay for it), it enables to investigate idea that are typically one or two steps ahead from what we are doing in the IBM Haifa Research Lab (which by itself has to be some steps ahead of the markets), Ella works also in our Proton team in IBM, the thesis deals with pattern rewriting as one of the means of performance improvement in event processing run-time, I have already written about our DEBS'11 paper on this topic. the thesis was well accepted by the examination team and got a relative high grade. My guess is that we'll hear more about notable research contributions of Ella in the future.
