Amit Singhal is a software engineer at Google Inc., a Google Fellow, and the head of Google's core ranking team.
According to his personal Bio:
"I was born in India in the state of Uttar Pradesh (Hindi, my native language, for "Northern State"). I spent most of my boyhood in the foothills of the Himalayas. I got a BS degree in Computer Science from University of Roorkee (now IIT Roorkee) in India, a MS, Computer Science again, from University of Minnesota (somehow, back then, I always found myself in cold places) and a PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University. At Cornell I studied with (late) Prof. Gerard Salton, one of the founders of the field of IR. Somewhere between my degrees I had real jobs doing database programming and IR system hacking. After my PhD I joined AT&T Labs in 1996. In 2000, my friend Krishna Bharat persuaded me to join Google. "
