Moises joined the MSR Silicon Valley Lab in early 2006. His research interests include probabilistic reasoning, graphical models, statistical machine learning, and systems. Prior to Microsoft, Moises held similar positions with Hewlett-Packard Labs, SRI International, and Rockwell Science Center, and was a principal scientist with Peakstone Corporation (start-up). Dr. Goldszmidt has a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of California in Los Angeles (1992).
Since 1999, Moises has been focusing his research on the application of statistical pattern recognition and probabilistic reasoning to the diagnosis, forecasting, and control of performance problems and faults in complex networked computer systems
