"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Oded Maler was born in 21.2.57 in Haifa, Israel.
He obtained his B.A. in Computer Science from the Technion,
Haifa in 1979 and
his M.Sc. in Management Science from the University of Tel-Aviv at In 1984. In 1989 he finished
his Ph.D. thesis (Finite Automata: Infinite Behavior,
Learnability and Decomposition), under the
liberal supervision of A. Pnueli in the department of
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Weizmann Institute, Rehovot. After two years of post-doc at IRISA, Rennes, he moved to Grenoble
at 1992 and obtained a research position (CR1) at the CNRS (French National Center of Scientific Research) in 1994. He has been
promoted to "research director" (DR2) in 2001. And he lives more or
less happily ever after.
Dr. Maler
is the founder and honorary president of the association Charlatans Sans Frontieres.
