description: "Ehud Shapiro is an Israeli scientist, entrepreneur, artist, and political activist who is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science. With international reputation, he made contributions to many scientific disciplines, establishing a long-term research agenda for each by asking basic questions and offering a first step towards answering them, including how to computerize the process of scientific discovery, by providing an algorithmic interpretation to Karl Popper's methodology of conjectures and refutations; how to automate program debugging, by algorithms for fault localization; how to unify parallel, distributed, and systems programming with a high-level logic-based programming language; how to use the metaverse as a foundation for social networking; how to devise molecular computers that can function as smart programmable drugs; how to uncover the human cell lineage tree, via single-cell genomics; how to support digital democracy, by devising an alternative architecture to the digital realm termed Grassroots."
