Edward Albert Feigenbaum (born January 20, 1936) is a computer scientist working in the field of artificial intelligence, and joint winner of the 1994 ACM Turing Award.[4] He is often called the "father of expert systems."[5][6][7][8]

Education and early life

Feigenbaum was born in

Jewish family, and moved to nearby North Bergen, where he lived until the age of 16, when he left to start college.[9][10] His hometown did not have a secondary school of its own, and so he chose Weehawken High School for its college preparatory program.[10][11] He was inducted into his high school's hall of fame in 1996.[12]

Feigenbaum completed his undergraduate degree (1956), and a Ph.D. (1960),[2][13][14] at Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University). In his PhD thesis, carried out under the supervision of Herbert A. Simon, he developed EPAM, one of the first computer models of how people learn.[15]

Career and research

Feigenbaum completed a

IntelliCorp
and Teknowledge.

Since 2000 Feigenbaum is a

Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Stanford University. His former doctoral students include Peter Karp,[3] Niklaus Wirth,[2] and Alon Halevy.[2]

"I was born in Weehawken, New Jersey, which is a town on the Palisades opposite New York. In fact, it’s the place where the Lincoln Tunnel dives under the water and comes up in New York. Then my parents moved up the Palisades four miles to a town called North Bergen, and there I lived until I was 16 and went off to Carnegie Tech."
