Sharad V. Oberoi, PhD
I recently (December 2011) received my PhD in Civil &
Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon. I was advised by Profs. Susan
Finger, Daniel P. Siewiorek and Carolyn P. Rosé. My
PhD thesis was titled “Towards a framework to support engineering design
student projects.” At Carnegie Mellon, I was a Carnegie Institute of Technology
Dean's Fellow and a JN Tata Scholar.
I also graduated (August 2011) from the University of Chicago with
a Masters degree in International Relations. I was
advised by Dr. Michael J. Reese and Matthias Staisch.
My MA thesis was titled “Population-centric counterinsurgency as seen through
the Iraq War Logs.” At UChicago, I was a University
of Chicago Unendowed Scholar. Previously, I've been a National Talent Search
Scholar (NTSE) and a recipient of the Institution of Engineers (India) Gold
Medal in Civil Engineering.
I have broad interests in design learning, computational
linguistics and collaborative team-work. My main research is on tracking design
knowledge through a mix of machine learning algorithms and computational
linguistics.
I am also interested in problems of modeling, learning and
inference in other complex temporal domains. For example, I worked on
evaluating the operational measures of counterinsurgency success by using
computational linguistic techniques on about 400,000 significant-action field
reports of the Iraq War Logs. More details about my research can be found here.
I am currently looking for positions in the industry that utilize
my background in machine learning, data management and knowledge capture in
collaborative team environments. If you have a relevant opening, please contact
me by e-mail.
