NoteThe source text confirms all three components of the claim: (1) BA in Physics from University of Oxford with First Class Honours — stated as 'He studied physics at Wadham College, Oxford, and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree with first-class honours in 1982'; (2) PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University — stated as 'complete a PhD in computer science at Stanford University in 1986'; (3) PhD supervised by Michael Genesereth — stated as 'supervised by Michael Genesereth' and confirmed in the infobox 'Doctoral advisor Michael Genesereth'. The only minor discrepancy is the source specifies the degree was in 'physics' rather than just 'Physics', but this is a stylistic difference, not a factual contradiction. All key facts are confirmed.
