Daphne Koller (born 1968) is a American Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University[1] and a MacArthur Fellowship recipient. She's also one of the founders of Coursera, an online education platform. Her general research area is artificial intelligence[2][3] and its applications in the biomedical sciences.[4][5] Koller was featured in an article by MIT Technology Review titled "10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change Your World"[6] concerning the topic of Bayesian machine learning.
She received a bachelor's degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1985, at the age of 17, and a master's degree from the same institution in 1986.[7]
Koller completed her Ph.D. at Stanford in 1993 under the supervision of Joseph Halpern, and joined the faculty of the Stanford University Computer Science Department in 1995. She was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2004.
In April 2008, Daphne Koller was awarded the first ever $150,000 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in Computing Sciences.[8]
In 2009, she published a textbook on probabilistic graphical models together with Nir Friedman.[9] She offered a free online course on the subject starting in February 2012.[10]
She is married to Dan Avida.[7]
