Reviews of professor Vikram Krishnamurthy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Best ECE professor at Cornell. I learnt a lot in the course, lots of cool math with real life applications. The professor was super enthusiastic and accessible. His lectures were fantastic. Homeworks were hard, but very useful for understanding material.

Professor Krishnamurthy is extremely intelligent and passionate about the material he teaches. He is very easy to contact outside of class and would respond to my emails about the class almost within an hour. In addition, he took measures listen to our feedback by giving homework drops and notes on slides. Overall a great professor!

I took ECE 2720 with Professor Krishnamurthy in Fall 2021. It's definitely one of the best classes that I've taken at Cornell. The course introduces students to numerous topics in data science and ML. Homework assignments were always challenging but fruitful. Exams were very similar to practice exams.

Vikram is an amazing prof if you are looking for a mentor who pushes research like a company CEO and is into publishing paper like a product. He extensively manages his students keeping track how much time they spent on research etc and if the money is being utilised well for the time you spend on research. If you like that style, you will love him

I did this class in spring 2024 and enjoyed it a lot. He is a very smart guy, and he is very caring too. ECE 2720 is offered both semesters but the instructor changes each semester. One of the best ENGRD courses I have done

One of the best classes and one of the most caring professors out there. He took constant feedback from students and implemented it in the classroom. Grade determined only using in-class quizzes and a take-home final. Definitely recommend taking the class with him!

His ECE 2720 is the most versatile, rigorous course I have taken. Feels like a proper 3000 level course. Covers an insane variety of very useful topics. Everyone should take this course. Although the instructor for this course changes every semester.

(FA2021) He spent a lot of time on how very basic calculus he would re-teach (a course prerequisite) is graduate material and that the course material was invaluable for interviews. He taught algorithms by putting code onto slides in one giant PDF. Generous grader, but stressful since you need to rely on Google to complete homework.

Very caring and understanding professor! He actively takes feedback from students and is generous about giving extensions. Assignments were difficult but interesting and engaging. Final was take home, and he deliberately tries to maximize grades. So long as you hold up your end of the deal and stay engasged, he'll take care of you.
