It is my distinct pleasure to recommend Rahul Sharma for the M.S. Computer Science program at Stanford University.

I have known Rahul as both a student in my Advanced Algorithms course (Fall 2023) and as a research mentee on machine learning projects since 2022.

Rahul demonstrates exceptional analytical abilities, intellectual curiosity, and remarkable persistence. In my advanced algorithms class of 80 students, he ranked in the top 5%, often raising insightful questions that elevated class discussions.

Under my supervision, Rahul co-authored a paper on Indian-language NLP that was accepted at ACL 2024. His ability to translate research ideas into rigorous experiments — and his initiative in tackling under-explored problems — sets him apart from peers.

Among the 200+ students I have taught, Rahul ranks in the top 3% for technical capability and in the top 5% for research aptitude.

I strongly endorse Rahul's application and am confident he will excel in your program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
