Daphne Koller is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University[1] and a MacArthur Fellowship recipient. Her general research area is artificial intelligence[2][3] and its applications in the biomedical sciences[4][5]. Koller was featured in an article by MIT Technology Review titled "10 Emerging Technologies That Will Change Your World"[6] concerning the topic of Bayesian Machine Learning.

She went to college at the age of 13, completed her Bachelors degree at 17 and her Masters at 18.[7]

Koller completed her Ph.D. at Stanford in 1993 under the supervision of Joseph Halpern, and joined the faculty of the Stanford University Computer Science Department in 1995. She was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2004.

In April 2008, Daphne Koller was awarded the first-ever $150,000 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in Computing Sciences.[8]
