Google's Top Indian Inventors
Bangalore: Google undoubtedly has an army of inventors dabbling away in Mountain View and around the world, but here are a few Indians who stand out above the rest for their marvelous innovations and numerous patents in the company.
Amit Singhal
Amit Singhal is a software engineer at Google and the head of Google's core ranking team. He is one among those who hold the patent on a "system and method for providing preferred language ordering of search results." Users speaking English are keen to get English language search results, so Amit helped develop the system that puts them first. He owns 46 patents in the company. As a reward for his rewrite of the search engine in 2001, Amit was named a Google Fellow, an honorary title reserved for Google's most accomplished engineers. He has co-authored more than thirty scientific papers and numerous patents.
Benedict Gomes
Benedict Gomes helped Google design a system for the "distributed crawling of hyperlinked documensts." Google find new pages by letting "robots" drag webpages all the
time, cataloging their contents and making note of any newly linked pages and he is one among those engineers behind this. He is in charge of improving what you see when you Google. He is behind shaping the automatic suggestions users get as they begin typing a query, and the few lines of text and links they get back, which Google calls "the snippet." He proudly owns 66 patents.
Guha Ramanathan
Guha Ramanathan has been working for Google since 2005. He is the one who helped make Google Search better. He has the patent on a "system and method for disambiguating entities in a web page search." For example; if a user searching for "Asha", he might be looking out for data on the singer Asha Bhosle, the American Saddle Horse Association, the American Speech and Hearing Association, or the American Social Health Association. His patent helps to get a refined search for what you are looking for. Guha also contributed to the "smart browsing" features of Netscape 4.5 and was instrumental in Netscape's acquisition of the Open Directory Project. He holds 48 patents in the company. He currently leads development of Google Custom Search.
Shumeet Baluja
Shumeet Baluja boarded Google in 2003 and works as Senior Staff Research Scientist. He works on a broad set of topics ranging from image processing and machine learning to wireless application development and user interaction measurement.
He penned books like The Silicon Jungle: A Novel of Deception, Power, and Internet Intrigue. He has filed numerous patents and has published scientific papers in fields including computer vision and facial image processing, advertisement display and optimization, automated vehicle control, statistical machine learning, and high-dimensional optimization. Graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Science degree, he received his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1996. He owns 8 patents.
Sanjay Ghemawat
Sanjay Ghemawat has been working at Google since late 1999 on distributed systems, performance tools, indexing systems, compression schemes, memory management, data
representation languages, RPC systems, and other systems infrastructure projects. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT. Before joining Google, he was a member of the research staff at DEC Systems Research Center in Palo Alto, CA. MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters, Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data, MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters, Google File System are a few of his co-authored publications. He is the owner of 7 patents.
