Biography

Shay David is fellow of the ISP and a doctoral candidate at Cornell's Science and Technology Studies department. Shay is interested in how people collaborate in 'open systems' in various domains including software, publishing and life sciences. Shay studies these novel practices as part of an attempt to develop a new theory of innovation in the area of information and communication technologies. Shay holds a B.Sc. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Philosophy, Magna Cum Laude, from Tel-Aviv University, and an MA from New York University where his research thesis focused on the political economy of free and open source software and file sharing networks. Shay is an entrepreneur that co-founded two software start-up companies, and was involved for several years in cutting edge software research, combining open source and proprietary software. He shares his time between Ithaca, New Haven and New York City, where his wife Ofri, who is an exhibiting video artist, is working on several large-scale art projects. Shay has published extensively on areas of technology and innovation. For a full list of publications and past and upcoming presentations check out Shay's website
