Ronald Prescott Loui is an American computer scientist and philosopher identified as "Frederick" in U.S. President Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father memoir, the first student the ten year-old Obama meets at Punahou School.[1][2][3] Loui also appears in Obama biographies by Garen Thomas, David Remnick, Constance Ramos, Avner Falk, in newspaper articles in the Mirror (UK),[4] Akron Beacon Journal,[5] and the Italian daily Corriere Della Sera,[6] US News and DC City Desk online columns, and on Fox TV news.[7] In cartoon form, he appears as Obama's childhood sidekick in the comic biography by Jeff Mariotte. Loui is the first friend named and quoted by Obama in his memoir.


[edit] Biography


Loui was a tenured professor at Washington University in St. Louis where he was one of the leading innovators in logic-based artificial intelligence for two decades and a leading advocate of defeasible reasoning and scripting languages.[8][9][10]


Loui is co-patentor of a deep packet inspection hardware device that can read and edit the contents of packets as they stream through a network. This was a key technology sought by the DARPA Information Awareness Office and Disruptive Technology Office.[11]


Loui also consulted on Cyc, a famous Artificial Intelligence program devised by Doug Lenat that uses logic to reach conclusions based on common-sense facts and principles about the real world.


Loui graduated from Harvard in 1982 with a senior thesis that shared the ACM national prize for best undergraduate paper in computing,[12][13] earned his Ph.D. under Henry E. Kyburg, and spent postdoctoral time at Stanford.


Professor Loui supervised students in a model National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, Washington University's Computer Science SURA Program, that included several current professors of computing, and the author of the original Google search engine.

The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee unanimously approved Hawaii’s Patricia Loui to the Export-Import Bank of the United States board on Thursday.


“I was proud to support Pat’s nomination to the board,” Sen. Daniel Akaka said in a statement released by his office. “Her success in global business and knowledge of foreign markets will be an asset to the American people as the Ex-Im Bank works to create and sustain American jobs by boosting exports.”


Akaka is a member of the committee that approved Loui. He and Sen. Daniel Inouye both spoke in favor of the nomination last month. In a statement after her approval on Thursday, Inouye called Loui an “exceptional” addition to the board. 


“She has a keen understanding of the way the U.S. economy functions in the global marketplace and is dedicated to job creation and advancing the economic interests of our nation,” Inouye said
