Rothblum was born in Tel Aviv to a family of Jewish immigrants from Austria.[3] He went to Tel Aviv University, where Robert Aumann became his mentor; he earned a bachelor's degree there in 1969 and a master's in 1971. He completed his doctorate in 1974 from Stanford University, in operations research, under the supervision of Arthur F. Veinott. After postdoctoral research at New York University, he joined the Yale University faculty in 1975, and moved to the Technion in 1984.[2]

Rothblum became president of the Israeli Operational Research Society (ORSIS) for 2006–2008, and editor-in-chief of Mathematics of Operations Research from 2010 until his death.[2]
