About meI am currently at Google, working on various aspects of Search Quality. I am particularly interested in language understanding in the context of Search. Prior to joining Google I was the Chief Architect and then CTO of Stratify, Inc. There I helped develop the very successful
Stratify Legal Discovery service. Stratify was acquired by Iron Mountain. Prior to joining Stratify, I was a Research Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center. While at NASA I served as the Deputy Lead of the Remote Agent project. The Remote Agent was the first Artificial Intelligence system to be given primary command of a spacecraft. I received a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT-Bombay, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University. My Ph.D. dissertation, Automated Modeling of Physical Systems, was an ACM Distinguished Dissertation. I co-teach Information Retrieval with Chris Manning in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. In the past I created and taught a class on Reasoning Methods in Artificial Intelligence at Stanford. Contact informationGoogle, Inc. |
