Siddharth Gollapudi

I am an incoming PhD student at UC Berkeley, supported in part by an NSF CISE Graduate Fellowship. Before this, I was a pre-doctoral Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India, where I was incredibly fortunate to be advised by Ravishankar Krishnaswamy, and to work with Sandeep Silwal and Sepideh Mahabadi. I received my BA in math and computer science from UC Berkeley. It all started in Cupertino, California, where D. Sivakumar inspired me to pursue a career in research.

I am broadly interested in algorithms for large datasets, but my recent interests have been in approximation algorithms and machine learning for information retrieval, especially in the context of the current AI/ML landscape.
