From 1988 to 1992, Wellman conducted research in these areas at the USAF’s Wright Laboratory. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988 for his work in qualitative probabilistic reasoning and decision-theoretic planning. Wellman is a Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan. Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan Russell’s work and accomplishments at his website. In 2022, he was selected to become the inaugural director of the newly created Kavli Center for Ethics, Science, and the Public. His current concerns include the threat of autonomous weapons and the long-term future of artificial intelligence and its relation to humanity. His research covers a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence including machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, real-time decision making, multitarget tracking, computer vision, computational physiology, and philosophical foundations.

His book Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (with Peter Norvig) is the standard text in AI it has been translated into 13 languages and is used in over 1300 universities in 118 countries. He is a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He then joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, where he is a Professor (and formerly Chair) of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and holder of the Smith-Zadeh Chair in Engineering. in computer science from Stanford in 1986. with first-class honours in physics from Oxford University in 1982 and his Ph.D.
