E-mail: bbadnani@bu.edu Cell: 954-225-0370 | Github | LinkedIn I recently earned my Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence from Boston University, where I also completed my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. My interests include big data algorithms, machine learning, and in general, all that computer science has to offer. My primary research focuses on sketching algorithms, specifically the Universal Sketching Problem, under the guidance of my advisor, Krzysztof Onak. As an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to engage in various areas of computer science. I worked as an NLP/Deep Learning engineer in collaboration with BU Spark, participated in research on black box adversarial attacks at BU, and enjoyed working as a teaching assistant for a course on sublinear space algorithms. As a personal sidenote, no course captivated me more than Real Analysis, and I am determined to eventually complete "Papa Rudin", no matter how long it takes.

  The interactive map I made while working for CBS news, using US Census Data.
  Red - more than 20% of the population do not have internet access (population per block group).
  Blue - less than 20% of the population do not have broadband access.
  Purple - the intersection of the two groups.
