He studied physics at Oxford University with a bachelor's degree in 1982, was teaching in 1983 and research assistant at Stanford University in 1985/86 , where he did his doctorate in computer science with Michael Genesereth in 1986 ( analogical and inductive reasoning ). In the summer of 1986 he worked on the Cyc project. In 1986 he became an assistant professor, an associate professor in 1991 and a professor at the computer science faculty in Berkeley in 1996. From 2006 to 2010 he was head of the computer science department and from 2008 to 2011 of the faculty for electrical engineering and computer science (EECS). From 2008 to 2011 he was also an adjunct professor in the neurosurgery department at the University of California, San Francisco.

From 2012 to 2014 he was visiting professor at the University of Paris VI.
