Chris Harland is a Data Scientist at Microsoft working on problems in Bing search, Windows, Xbox, Office, and MSN. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Oregon and has worked in a wide variety of fields spanning elementary science education, cutting edge biophysical research, and recommendation/personalization engines. Chris is currently working on minimum viable product machine learning solutions, probabilistic models, and experimentation.

Ever since Chris started using Bayesian methods on a semi-regular basis the frequency with which he uses the phrase “well, maybe” in conversation with colleagues has increased ten fold. His colleagues have yet to forgive Bayes for this.
