About

I'm Krish, an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University studying mathematics and computer science. Sometimes I blog here about things I find interesting.

My favorite classes at CMU have been 15-251 (Theoretical Computer Science), 21-355/356 (Real Analysis I/II), and 02-251 (Great Ideas in Computational Biology).

Recently, I've been interested in real analysis, and its applications to machine learning. My current favorite paper is this one on machine learning techniques using geometric, topological, and algebraic structures.
