Lucknow, April 12 :
Sumit Gulwani, an alumnus of City Montessori School has been awarded the
prestigious Max Planck Humbodt Medal 2021 for his invention of the popular
Flash Fill feature in Microsoft Excel, which automatically inserts data into an
Excel column as soon as it recognizes a pattern as to how it relates to other
columns. Sumit is an alumnus of CMS Anand Nagar & RDSO Campuses and is a
computer scientist connecting ideas, people, and research with practice. A
Partner Research Manager & Computer Scientist with Microsoft, USA, Sumit
Gulwani is the inventor of many intent-understanding, programming-by-example,
and programming-by-natural-language technologies.
Programming
is the science of talking to computers”, he says, “The deepest level of
learning takes place when you create something that is meaningful to you.”
Recalling his school days, Sumit says, “My most important lesson at CMS came
from my literature teacher, who taught us that education is derived from the
word “educare”, which means ‘to learn how to care.” He further says, “The
inter-branch competitive exams prepared me for the extremely competitive life
ahead, helping me win the President's Gold Medal at IIT Kanpur. The resulting
relentless pursuit of excellence finally set me up for my journey of deep
scientific innovations, helping me win a Best Doctoral Dissertation award
during my stint at UC-Berkeley, and the prestigious Robin Milner young
researcher award during my stint at Microsoft for outstanding contributions in
my research area.
CMS Founder, Dr Jagdish Gandhi has expressed
profound delight at this massive achievement of his student and has wished him
success in all his future endeavours.
