Splash Biography

Brief Biographical Sketch:

Chirag Bharadwaj is originally from Flushing, NY and is currently a first-year graduate student at Princeton. He just graduated from Cornell in May 2017 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. He is 21 years young.

As a graduate student, Chirag actively participates in research in computer architectures at the hardware/software interface. He hopes to explore new directions in this field throughout his graduate career to help evaluate and advance the performance of real-time hardware systems such as accelerators. He currently works with Margaret Martonosi, an award-winning faculty member in the department of Computer Science.

Chirag was a teacher through Splash at Cornell for six semesters (from its inception in Fall 2014 until the time he graduated). In the past, he has taught such topics as the following:

+ Pedagogy in High School Classrooms
+ A Treatise on Complex Analysis
+ A Survey of Japanese Linguistics
+ Special Topics: Legendre Polynomials
+ Musical Groups: Math in Music
+ Techniques in Empirical Analysis

This semester, he will be giving the dual to the Legendre Polynomials lecture; he will attempt to instruct high school students about Laguerre Polynomials, which arise in a similar domain, but are far simpler to analyze.
