spent leading the data mining and exploration group at Microsoft
Research and building the data mining products for Microsoft's server
division. From 1989 to 1996 Fayyad held a leadership role at NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) where his work in the analysis and
exploration of scientific databases gathered from observatories,
remote-sensing platforms and spacecraft garnered him the top research
excellence award that Caltech awards to JPL scientists, as well as a
U.S. Government medal from NASA. Fayyad earned his Ph.D. in engineering from the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor (1991), and also holds BSE's in both electrical and
