Education

Domingos received an undergraduate degree and Master of Science degree from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).[6] He moved to the University of California, Irvine, where he received a Master of Science degree and followed by PhD.[6]

Research and career

After spending two years as an assistant professor at IST, he joined the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in 1999 and became a full professor in 2012.[7] He started a machine learning research group at the hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co. in 2018,[8] but left in 2019.[9]

In 2020, Domingo criticized the research and activism of multiple AI ethicists, most notably Timnit Gebru and Anima Anandkumar, drawing some criticism himself.[10][11][12]
