Siddharth Gollapudi

I am a first-year PhD student at UC Berkeley, advised by Sewon Min and supported in part by the NSF CISE Graduate Fellowship.

Before this, I was a pre-doctoral Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India, where I was 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 and machine learning for large datasets, but I have recently been thinking about problems at the intersection of language modeling and information retrieval.
