Sandip Sinha

I am a PhD student in the CS theory group at Columbia University. I am fortunate to be advised by Profs. Rocco Servedio, Alex Andoni and Cliff Stein. My research interests are in machine learning, time series analysis, Bayesian analysis, sublinear algorithms, and information theory.

Before joining Columbia, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) with a BS degree in Mathematics in 2016. My resume can be found here.
