User:Moshekam

My name is Moshe Kam. I joined Wikipedia in November 2004, primarily in order to write about the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and its predecessors. I assume that in time I will contribute to other subjects.

Where I'm from
I was born Tel Aviv, Israel. For more than 30 years I lived in Philadelphia. I now live in Maplewood, New Jersey.

Career
I teach at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Earlier I taught at Drexel University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My research interests are in the general areas of System Theory, Control, and Dynamic Systems. Over the years I wrote several articles on Data Fusion and Decision Fusion, and contributed to the literature on Forensic Document Examination.

I am a long time volunteer of IEEE. My IEEE work is a major focus of my professional activities.

Other interests
Vocal music (I sing with the New York Choral Society); European and Hebrew literature; history of the 20th Century.
