My education
I graduated from Stanford with a M.S. in Computer Science (AI track) and B.S. in mathematics with distinction (CS theory track.) During my undergrad, I won a Sterling award, for having one of the top 25 academic records in the School of Humanities and Sciences.
I worked as a graduate teaching assistant for CS 229: Machine Learning, and for the complexity theory track.
Undergrad GPA: 4.13 — Grad GPA: 4.10
The above is all you need to read. But I think others sometimes find it useful to know classes I’ve taken and my grades—(particularly students starting/planning their Stanford education)—so the core is below. With one or two exceptions, I really enjoyed the classes listed and would take them again. Do get in touch if you have a particular class you’re interested in.
