We are delighted to share that Dr. Judea Pearl, Chancellor’s Professor of Computer Science and Statistics, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society—one of the world’s most prestigious scientific academies.
The honor recognizes Dr. Pearl’s foundational contributions to artificial intelligence, particularly his pioneering work on causal reasoning and Bayesian networks. His groundbreaking research has transformed the way scientists and engineers understand cause-and-effect relationships under uncertainty, influencing fields ranging from statistics and medicine to law and public policy.
Established in 1660, the Royal Society is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. Dr. Pearl joins a distinguished lineage of fellows that includes Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Alan Turing.
We congratulate Dr. Pearl on this remarkable achievement and well-deserved honor!
