Sandeep SoniAssistant Professor | QTM
Biography
Sandeep Soni completed his PhD in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology (2021). Prior to joining the faculty at Emory in 2023, Sandeep was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. Academic and industry collaborations have exposed him to different research styles and perspectives, and taught him the value of diversity of ideas within research. These collaborations have helped form and further his own work, and as faculty, Sandeep aims to foster diverse collaborations for his students.
