I
am a Professor in the Stanford AI Lab,at
the Computer Science Department
at Stanford University. I joined
the department in September 1995.
Returning to Stanford was a homecoming for me, since
in 1993 I completed my PhD
at Stanford under the supervision of Joe Halpern. In
between, I was a postdoctoral researcher with Stuart Russell's research group
at the Computer Science Division
at UC Berkeley. Before that, I did my masters and
undergraduate degrees at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, Israel.
Here is a slightly more formal bio:
