In this capacity, he led initiatives applying machine learning to healthcare data encompassing millions of patients. This position marked a significant milestone in his career as it was his first major exposure to the business side of operations. He managed teams and products, gaining valuable experience in leadership, teamwork and the intricacies of launching ventures from inception—skills that complemented his technical expertise.

From 2019 to 2023, Dr. Livne was a senior research scientist at Educational Testing Service (ETS), where he developed artificial intelligence methodologies for detecting essay cheating and enhancing automated scoring systems. His work contributed to the integrity and efficiency of educational assessments on a national scale. From 2018 to 2019, he worked as a research scientist at Amazon Lab126, focusing on enhancing the training and distillation of deep neural networks using multigrid methods—technologies foundational to all modern artificial intelligence applications.

Between 2014 and 2018, Dr. Livne was a software engineer at Google in Chicago, where he contributed to digital advertising forecasting and search engine infrastructure. This period immersed him in a fast-paced technological environment among highly talented peers, further expanding his expertise in scalable systems engineering.

Dr. Livne's earlier tenure as a research professional at the Institute for Genomics & Systems Biology at The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine from 2011 to 2012, and then at the Department of Human Genetics of the Biological Sciences Division from 2012 to 2014, was marked by significant achievements in genomics research. He applied advanced mathematical techniques for DNA imputation, notably through the PRIMAL project focused on the Hutterite population. This work enabled cost-effective genetic studies and had direct community impact by identifying potential disease risks, a highlight he regards as both professionally and personally rewarding.

From 2008 to 2011, he served as senior software architect in the Office of Associate Vice President for Health Sciences IT at the University of Utah, where he architected federated medical data platforms that facilitated large-scale biomedical research. As chief software architect for Academic Outreach & Continuing Education at RUReady.net at the University of Utah from 2006 to 2009, Dr. Livne developed scalable educational technology systems that improved access and efficiency in academic programs.

Dr. Livne's academic appointments include serving as research assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah from 2004 to 2007 and as a postdoctoral fellow at both the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah from 2004 to 2007 and the Computer Science Department at Stanford University from 2002 to 2004. At Stanford, he collaborated with renowned mathematician Gene Golub on numerical linear algebra algorithms.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Livne held positions as research and development staff scientist at Orbotech from 2001 to 2002; visiting scientist in applied mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science from 2001 to 2002; technical project officer in the Directorate of Defense Research & Development for the Israel Defense Forces from 1999 to 2002, where he applied his skills in radar systems and signal processing; and computational scientist at ELTA Systems Ltd from 1998 to 1999. His early work included roles focused on creating fast algorithms for quantum mechanics (Ph.D. thesis) as well as capacitor network solvers for contactless printed circuit board testing at Orbotech, Ltd.

Among his most notable achievements is his independent research conducted in 2011 alongside his former advisor on graph theory, a field central to understanding networks such as social or power grids. Their innovative method for partitioning networks proved significantly faster than existing solutions and was published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), marking a major mathematical highlight in Dr. Livne's career.

Dr. Livne holds a pending patent for a system and method for analyzing free-form mathematical responses developed through the Education Academic Outreach program at the University of Utah's Continuing Education department. He is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the United States Chess Federation and United States Masters Swimming—reflecting both his commitment to professional excellence and personal interests.

Dr. Livne's academic foundation began with a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, in 1994—an achievement realized at just age 15. He went on to earn his Doctorate in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, in 2000. These rigorous academic experiences provided him with deep theoretical knowledge that has underpinned his success across diverse fields that include defense technology, biomedical informatics, educational assessment and artificial intelligence.

He attributes much of his success not only to innate ability but also to formative mentorship throughout his journey. His parents' dedication to education despite limited means instilled values of perseverance, empathy and respect—qualities essential for effective leadership. Professor Achi Brandt, his doctoral advisor, shaped Dr. Livne's approach to research by encouraging creative problem-solving and resilience through failure. His time at Google exposed him to world-class talent that inspired continual growth, while his wife's insights from her executive background and her practical wisdom have been invaluable sources of support. Additionally, observing his young son's curiosity has reinforced Dr. Livne's appreciation for creativity and positivity.

Dr. Livne's distinguished career has been recognized with numerous awards, including Top 10 Paper at the First ACM International Health Informatics Symposium in 2010; Fellowship from Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007; Who's Who in America Award of Recognition for Research Achievement in 2006; Student Paper Excellence Award from the Eleventh Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods in 2003; and Dimitris N. Chorafas Foundation Prize for Engineering and Technology in 2000.

Outside of his professional life, Dr. Livne enjoys chess—actively participating in tournaments—as well as swimming, fitness activities, drawing, painting, hiking outdoors and playing the flute. He also spends time volunteering with the Jewish Relief Agency supporting community welfare initiatives.
