While at Cornell, Zevi's research focuses on the study of Binary and Combinatorial Optimization problems, in particular cluster and corridor knapsack problems, in the areas of water resource and watershed management in New York State and modeling the housing reconstruction location in Aceh, Indonesia. He has been a guest lecturer in Geographic Information System courses at Cornell, and recently provided his GIS expertise by creating maps and satellite images for Aceh Relief Fund, a nonprofit organization which he co-founded. He received several scholarship awards for academic excellencies, including from the Asian Development Bank, Intelligent Information Systems Institute, Cornell's CIPA and CISER.

He is now working at the Ministry of Public Works of Indonesia.
