Zico Kolter (C'05)
Jeremy "Zico" Kolter (C'05) performed research in machine learning and data mining.
While the other presenters were faculty and Ph.D. students at top computer science universities, Kolter was an undergraduate at Georgetown who had started out as a philosophy major.
Kolter, who presented work he did with Dr. Mark Maloof on an algorithm the two developed called Dynamic Weighted Majority, is now a Ph.D. student at Stanford, one of those very same top universities.
“Put simply, there’s no way I would have gotten in if not for the work I did while at Georgetown,” Kolter says. “To get into these programs, one really needs to do research as an undergraduate or master’s student.”
