About me

Photo of HarshI’m a PhD student in Computer Science at UT Austin. I’m advised by Prof. Pradeep Ravikumar who runs the Statistical Machine Learning Lab. We’re also part of the Center for Big Data Analytics. I graduated with a B.Tech. from IIT Bombay in 2011. As an undergraduate, I worked on Named Entity Recognition and Search on the Semantic Web.

I’m an avid reader. I’ve enjoy playing board games and have recently discovered collectible card games (My primary leisure activity in recent times has been Hearthstone). I participate in Lesswrong and the larger rationalist community. See here for a listing of my social profiles
