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. He started a machine learning research group at the
hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co. in 2018, but left in 2019. He co-founded the International Machine Learning Society. As of 2018, he was on the editorial board of
Machine Learning journal.
