Bio:
Mrinal Kalakrishnan graduated with a bachelors degree in Telecommunication from the PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India in 2004. After working for two years in the software industry, he joined the Masters program in Computer Science at USC. He worked on computational biology at the Computational Laboratory of Integrative Genomics at USC for a year before joining the Computational Learning and Motor Control lab in Fall 2007. He received his M.S in Computer Science at USC in 2008, and is continuing research towards a doctoral degree.
