Craig Silverstein is currently on leave from Stanford University, where he
is pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science, with a focus on information
retrieval and data mining. Silverstein contributed his expertise in
compression algorithms to Google while it was still a research project at
Stanford. Related academic pursuits include efficient clustering of large
data sets using Scatter/Gather and latent semantic indexing as it relates to
clustering, both of which Silverstein explored at Xerox PARC, and
super-efficient versions of basic data structures such as hash tables.
Silverstein graduated with honors with a bachelor's degree in computer
science from Harvard College, from which he also received Phi Beta Kappa
distinction, the Microsoft Technical Scholarship, and twice received the
Derek Bok Award for Teaching Excellence.
