Sharad is the best mentor I could have hoped for! Beyond providing invaluable guidance and being available at all times, he holds monthly office hours for students, especially Bruins, where we discuss current developments in the tech industry and about the exciting breakthroughs. He emphasizes the impact people from diverse disciplines can make in the world, regardless of their domain-specific skills. He puts in great effort to create intuitive slides and invites industry leaders to speak with students, offering invaluable insights into different career paths.
