After graduating from college, Pearl worked for two years at RCA Research Laboratories, which is now part of SRI International, in Princeton. While working at RCA Research Laboratories, he was employed by Electronic Memories, Inc., a company that specialized in developing semiconductor-based memory systems. Unfortunately, his research was quickly cancelled when the development of semiconductors made it impossible to continue. In the mid-1970s, Pearl moved to the UCLA School of Engineering, where he worked on probabilistic artificial intelligence. Eventually, he became one of the founding editors of the Journal of Causal Inference, which focuses on predicting the effects of a variety of factors on the behavior of a system.
After completing his undergraduate degree in physics, Pearl spent two years working at RCA Research Laboratories, now SRI International. During his time at RCA, he worked at Electronic Memories, Inc., and developed advanced memory systems. After his time at Electronic Memories, his work was “wiped out” by the advent of semiconductors, but Pearl was able to move on to the UCLA School of Engineering, where he became a professor.
After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, Pearl worked at the RCA Research Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey. In addition to his research at RCA, he spent time at Electronic Memories, Inc., which developed advanced memory systems. Afterward, he joined the UCLA School of Engineering where he worked on probabilistic artificial intelligence. He later became a founding editor of the Journal of Causal Inference.
