Prof. Moshe Zukerman received his B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management and his M.Sc. in Operation Research from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering from The University of California Los Angeles in 1985.

Dr. Zukerman was an independent consultant with IRI Corporation and a post-doctoral fellow at UCLA during 1985-1986. In 1986 he moved to Australia and joined Telecom Australia. During 1986-1997 he served in Telecom (Telstra from 1993) Research Laboratories (TRL), first as a research engineer and between 1988-1997 as a project leader managing a team of researchers providing expert advice to Telstra on network design and traffic engineering, and on traffic aspects of evolving telecommunications standards.

He is a co-recipient of the TRL Outstanding Achievement Award in 1990.

Between 1990-2001, he has also taught and supervised graduate students at Monash University. Between 1997-2008 he was with The University of Melbourne, as a senior research fellow (1997-1998), associate professor (1998-2001), and professor (2001-2008). Since December 2008 he has been with the Electronic (now Electrical) Engineering Department of City University of Hong Kong (CityU) as a Chair Professor of Information Engineering and a team leader. From December 2020 until September 2022, he also served as Acting Chief Information Officer of CityU.

He has served on editorial boards of various journals, and as member of technical and organizing committees of numerous national and international conferences.  He gave tutorials in several major international conferences such as IEEE ICC and IEEE GLOBECOM. He submitted contributions to and represented Australia in several ITU-T/CCITT standards meetings. Professor Zukerman has over 400 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings and has been awarded several national and international patents. He has been an IEEE Fellow since 2007.
