His thesis was on the topic of “Calculation of Tides in the Ocean”. He switched to computer science during a stint as a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University. His works in computer science have focused on temporal logic and model checking, particularly regarding fairness properties of concurrent systems.

He returned to Israel as a researcher and after a sequence of academic appointments became Professor of Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute in 1981. Since 1999, Pnueli has also held a position at the Computer Science Department of New York University, New York, U.S..

In 1971 he co-founded Mini-Systems with the Lachover brothers, which was the nucleus of the software group at Scitex and later sold in parts to Scitex. Amir is behind many of the fundomental image processing algorithms, which made Scitex what it later became.
