Ronald Loui
Ronald Prescott Loui is an American computer scientist and adjunct professor of computer science at Case Western Reserve University. He previously taught at Washington University in St. Louis and University of Illinois Springfield.
Biography
Loui grew up in Hawaii where he was a classmate of Barack Obama at Punahou School.[1][2]
Loui earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in applied mathematics in 1982, where his undergraduate thesis won an ACM award.[3]
Loui completed a Ph.D. advised by Henry E. Kyburg Jr., at the University of Rochester and completed a postdoc at Stanford (1987-1988) under Patrick Suppes and Amos Tversky.[4] His unpublished work was cited in Judea Pearl's Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems, while referring to economist John Harsanyi.[5]
From 1988 to 2008, he was a professor of computer science at Washington University in St. Louis in the McKelvey School of Engineering.[6] He was also associated with multiple departments outside of engineering.[7][8] While at Washington University, he built a citation-based search engine for legal opinions in the early 1990s.[4] After leaving Washington University in 2008, he worked as a full-time consultant for several years, and then joined University of Illinois Springfield as a faculty member. He left academia for a few years in 2017 to co-found Peak Metrics, and now teaches as an adjunct faculty member at Case Western Reserve University.[citation needed]
Loui has published papers on defeasible reasoning in artificial intelligence[9] and he is a proponent of scripting languages.[10] He is co-patent holder of a deep packet inspection hardware device that could read and edit the contents of packets as they stream through a network.[11] This technology was sought by the DARPA Information Awareness Office and Disruptive Technology Office under Total Information Awareness. Loui also consulted for Cyc, a well-known artificial intelligence program created by Douglas Lenat.
