Stephen Gould

Short Biography
I am a PhD student at Stanford University studying machine learning and artificial intelligence. My primary focus is the use of probabilistic models for computer vision and, in particular, scene understanding. My PhD advisor is Daphne Koller. I also do work with Andrew Ng.

Previously, I co-founded Sensory Networks where I was responsible for hardware engineering and product development as VP Engineering. Before Sensory Networks, I worked in other senior (and junior) engineering positions in research and development companies (including Dilithium Networks, Polartechnics, CWC). I received my MSEE degree from Stanford in 1998, and my BE and BSc degrees from The University of Sydney, Australia in 1996 and 1994, respectively. I enjoy mountain bike riding, playing golf, some travelling, and solving puzzles. When I was younger, I spent all of my time playing with lego; now I get to spend all of my time helping my daughter play with her lego.
