Schuster was born in 1958 in the Israeli kibbutz Givat Brenner to Tzipora and Yochanan Schuster. His family is of Ashkenazi-Jewish origin.
Schuster began his academic studies at the Hebrew University in 1981, and graduated in 1984, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science. In 1986, he graduated with a master's degree in computer science. After receiving his degree, Schuster worked as a teacher at Ort College in Givat Ram, Jerusalem. In 1991 Schuster received a doctorate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in computer science. His PhD topic dealt with the dynamic configuration of communication networks for parallel computation, under the guidance of Eli Shamir. [2] He then started working at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. In 2000, he became an associate professor and in 2007, he became a professor. [3]
In 2015 he was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for his contributions to cloud computing. [4]
In 2016, Schuster co-founded a startup called Cy-oT (Cyber of Things), along with Natan Bandler and Daniel Moscovici. [5] Schuster served as the CTO until the company was sold to Verint in 2019. [5]
Adi Shamir is an Israeli cryptographer. He is a co-inventor of the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) algorithm, a co-inventor of the Feige–Fiat–Shamir identification scheme, one of the inventors of differential cryptanalysis and has made numerous contributions to the fields of cryptography and computer science.
Michael Oser Rabin is an Israeli mathematician, computer scientist, and recipient of the Turing Award.
Amir Pnueli was an Israeli computer scientist and the 1996 Turing Award recipient.
Judea Pearl is an Israeli-American computer scientist and philosopher, best known for championing the probabilistic approach to artificial intelligence and the development of Bayesian networks. He is also credited for developing a theory of causal and counterfactual inference based on structural models. In 2011, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) awarded Pearl with the Turing Award, the highest distinction in computer science, "for fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence through the development of a calculus for probabilistic and causal reasoning". He is the author of several books, including the technical Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference, and The Book of Why, a book on causality aimed at the general public.
Shafrira Goldwasser is an Israeli-American computer scientist and winner of the Turing Award in 2012. She is the RSA Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, a professor of mathematical sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, co-founder and chief scientist of Duality Technologies and the director of the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at the University of California, Berkeley.
Johan Torkel Håstad is a Swedish theoretical computer scientist most known for his work on computational complexity theory. He was the recipient of the Gödel Prize in 1994 and 2011 and the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award in 1986, among other prizes. He has been a professor in theoretical computer science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden since 1988, becoming a full professor in 1992. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 2001.

Omer Reingold is an Israeli computer scientist. He is the Rajeev Motwani professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University and the director of the Simons Collaboration on the Theory of Algorithmic Fairness. He received a PhD in computer science at Weizmann in 1998 under Moni Naor. He received the 2005 Grace Murray Hopper Award for his work in finding a deterministic logarithmic-space algorithm for st-connectivity in undirected graphs. He, along with Avi Wigderson and Salil Vadhan, won the Gödel Prize (2009) for their work on the zig-zag product. He became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2014 "For contributions to the study of pseudorandomness, derandomization, and cryptography."
Moshe Ya'akov Vardi is an Israeli mathematician and computer scientist. He is a Professor of Computer Science at Rice University, United States. He is University Professor, the Karen Ostrum George Professor in Computational Engineering, Distinguished Service Professor, and director of the Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology. His interests focus on applications of logic to computer science, including database theory, finite model theory, knowledge in multi-agent systems, computer-aided verification and reasoning, and teaching logic across the curriculum. He is an expert in model checking, constraint satisfaction and database theory, common knowledge (logic), and theoretical computer science.
