Stam was born in the Netherlands. He received his MSc and PhD, both in computer science, from the University of Toronto.[1] After graduating, he held two postdoc positions, one at INRIA (in Paris, France) and one at VTT (in Helsinki, Finland.)
He then joined SGI's Alias|wavefront division (which later spun out as "Alias Systems Corporation") as a full time researcher. At Alias, Stam made significant contributions to the fluids simulation component of Alias' Maya 3D content creation software product. As a result of Alias being acquired by Autodesk in early 2006, Stam is now a "Senior Research Scientist" at Autodesk, Inc.[2]
