Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSwabha Swayamdipta is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at USC with 12 years of research and industry experience spanning NLP, language technologies, and software engineering. He holds a PhD from Carnegie Mellon and has held research positions at AI2, CMU, and Columbia, plus internships at Google and Microsoft where he built prototype search and UI tools using C#, XAML, and web technologies. His work bridges deep technical foundations—compiler construction, distributed systems, and semantic parsing—with applied machine learning research, evidenced by a progression from graduate research assistant to postdoc and faculty roles. Comfortable in languages from C and Java to OCaml and SQL, he brings a pragmatic systems mindset to language-focused problems and has a track record of turning complex academic ideas into tangible prototypes. An often-overlooked strength is his early product-facing experience at large tech firms, which informs his teaching and research translation.
