Dr. Nadav Volch is a Computer Science researcher specializing in the development of advanced methods for integrating Artificial Intelligence, data analysis, cybersecurity, trust, and privacy in online systems. He completed his PhD in Computer Science at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, where he focused on developing trust-based models for information security in online social networks. He then conducted his postdoctoral research at the IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy, where he studied issues of disinformation and information security in social networks.
He is currently a Senior Researcher at the Shamir Research Institute and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Engineering at the Ruppin Academic Center.
His research focuses on the development of advanced Artificial Intelligence models and on AI applications in areas such as agriculture, smart transportation, software systems, and complex data analysis. In addition, he works on methods for detecting disinformation in social networks and on studying trust, privacy, and cybersecurity in digital systems, combining machine learning techniques and network analysis.
Among his main research and application areas are: developing AI models for agricultural research applications; developing trust-based models for preventing the spread of fake news and improving cybersecurity in social networks; applying machine learning for social media analysis and disinformation detection; and developing algorithms for traffic prediction and intelligent routing in transportation systems.
Dr. Volch leads and participates in competitively funded research projects, including grants from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and transportation systems optimization. His work combines theoretical research with practical applications in complex digital systems.
