Stuart Jonathan Russell (born 1962) is a computer scientist known for his contributions to artificial intelligence.[3][4] As of 2016 he is Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley and Adjunct Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco.[1][5]

Education and early life

Stuart Russell was born in Portsmouth, England. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree with first-class honours in Physics from Wadham College, Oxford in 1982, and his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1986 for research on inductive reasoning and analogical reasoning supervised by Michael Genesereth.[6]

Career and research

After his PhD, he joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, where he is currently[when?] Professor of Computer Science.[7] He also holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, where he pursues research in computational physiology and intensive-care unit monitoring.[1][5]

In 2016, he founded the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence at UC Berkeley, with co-principal investigators Pieter Abbeel, Anca Dragan, Tom Griffiths, Bart Selman, Joseph Halpern, Michael Wellman and Satinder Singh Baveja.[8]Along with Peter Norvig, he is the author of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach,[9] a textbook used by over 1300 universities in 116 countries.[10] He is on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Future of Life Institute[11] and the Advisory Board of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.[12]

Awards and honours

Stuart Russell was co-winner, in 1995, of the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award at the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, the premier international award in artificial intelligence for researchers under 35.[13] In 2003 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery[14] and in 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[15] In 2005 he was awarded the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award.[16] In 2012, he was appointed to the Blaise Pascal Chair in Paris, awarded to "internationally acclaimed foreign scientists in all disciplines," as well as the senior Chaire d'excellence of France's Agence Nationale de la Recherche.[17]
