Melamed was born is
Tel-Aviv, Israel, in January 1964. He received the B.Sc.
degree magna cum laude in Electrical Engineering in 1989 and the Ph.D. Degree
in 1996, both from Tel-Aviv
University. From 1996 to
1998 he held a postdoctoral
position at the department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Boston University. From 1998 to 2001 he
was with Odin Medical Technologies. Currently he is with the Department of
