Early life and education
editYerach Doytsher was born in Chelyabinsk, Russia, and emigrated to Israel with his family in 1950. He studied at Ironi Alef High School in Tel Aviv and served in the Mapping Unit of the Israeli Army as a Geodesist. He received his B.Sc. in civil engineering (Summa Cum Laude) in 1967, and his M.Sc. in geodetic engineering (1973) from the Technion.[2]
His Ph.D. degree was received in 1979 from the Technion. Doytsher authored the thesis "Automation Procedures in Mapping", under the supervision of Professor Benjamin Shmutter.
Professional activities
editDoytsher has worked in the Israeli Survey Department and several private mapping and geodetic firms. In 1972 he won the Kaplan Award (as a team member) for development and efficiency in the field of automation in the Israel Survey Department.[3] He was also Professional Manager at Complot International until 1982, Senior Scientific Consultant until 1987 at Mehish Systems and Mapping Consultant and GIS Manager at Malam Systems until 1995.[4]
