Ethan Allavarpu
Masters Student in Statistics, admitted Autumn 2022
Project Assistant, Healthy Planet Healthy PeopleBioI am currently pursuing a Master of Science (M.S.) in Data Science at Stanford University (with coursework in Statistics, Computer Science, and Computational and Mathematical Engineering). Before Stanford, I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Statistics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am always eager to contribute to research and gain more experience through data science internships. My technical prowess, determined work ethic (I completed my four-year undergraduate degree at UCLA in three years), and effective communication skills make me a valuable addition to any team.
This summer (2023), I will join Apple as a Data Science Intern. Currently, I am a research assistant within the Luby Lab at Stanford, working on processing, standardizing, and visualizing data regarding brick kiln production in South Asia. Last year, I interned with Bridg as a Data Science Intern, working on data querying, data transformations, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning with Python and SQL--with integrations in Snowflake (and Snowpark, Snowflake's Python API)--on terabytes of data (over 100 billion observations). My projects improved insights from product descriptions and standardized features across multiple sources.
My experiences have prepared me to work in virtually any domain. I am always willing to discuss potential work opportunities or my path with prospective undergraduate or graduate students or data science enthusiasts via LinkedIn or email. -

Nicholas Bartos
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2017
BioMy research interests include the formation and structure of maritime networks in the ancient Mediterranean and western Indian Ocean, particularly how seaborne interaction influenced Roman social and economic activity. To this end, I am interested in ancient economies, maritime communities and traditions, and broader theories of globalization and cross-cultural interaction. Other research interests include digital recording techniques, cultural heritage stewardship and ethics, and innovative methods of public engagement.
In 2013, I graduated from Brown University with a BA in Archaeology and the Ancient World before attending the University of Oxford as a Clarendon Fund Scholar (MPhil in Archaeology, 2015). I then worked as a field archaeologist and in the post-excavation and publications department at Oxford Archaeology Ltd., a UK-based commercial archaeological practice, and on the editorial team at Current World Archaeology, a popular archaeological magazine based in London.
I have worked on a range of terrestrial and underwater archaeological research projects in Albania, Croatia, Egypt, Italy, Montenegro, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Recent projects include the Berenike Project (an Egyptian Red Sea port site dating from the 3rd century B.C.E. to the 6th century C.E.) and the Marzamemi Maritime Heritage Project. -
