Koller’s interests span artificial intelligence, economics and algorithms. She is also co-founder of Coursera, an online learning platform.
Stephen R. Quake, the Lee Otterson Professor in the School of Engineering and professor of bioengineering and of applied physics
Quake pioneered the development of Microfluidic Large Scale Integration (mLSI), the “lab on a chip” technology used in functional genomics, genetic analysis, and structural biology.
Mendel Rosenblum, professor of computer science and of electrical engineering
Rosenblum’s is an expert in system software, distributed systems and computer architecture. He is also a co-founder VMware Inc., a computer virtualization company.
The prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the country's oldest honorary learned societies, and a leading center for independent policy research. It counts more than 4,600 members and 600 foreign fellows as members, comprised of many of the world’s most accomplished leaders from academia, business, social policy, energy, global security, the humanities and the arts.
