Pierre Baldi is a chancellor's professor of computer science at University of California, Irvine[1] and the director of its Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics.[2]
Career
Born in Rome (Italy), Pierre Baldi received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees at the University of Paris, in France.[3] He then received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the California Institute of Technology in 1986. From 1986 to 1988, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego. From 1988 to 1995, he held faculty and member of the technical staff positions at the California Institute of Technology and at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he was given the Lew Allen Award for Research Excellence in 1993.[4] He was CEO of a start up company called Net-ID from 1995 to 1999 and joined University of California, Irvine in 1999.
Pierre Baldi's research include artificial intelligence, statistical machine learning, and data mining, and their applications to problems in the life sciences in genomics, proteomics, systems biology, computational neuroscience, and, recently, deep learning.
Awards and honors
Pierre Baldi is a fellow of the AAAI,[5] the AAAS,[6] the IEEE,[7] and the ACM.[8] He is also the recipient of the 2010 Eduardo R. Caianiello Prize for Scientific Contributions to the field of Neural Networks.
