Nideesh Kumar has achieved one of the top overall scores in the entire class in addition to placing in top 10 of the overall leaderboard of prediction challenges. In addition, Nideesh has won one of the challenges.
Here is what Nideesh says about himself:
"Hey! I'm Nideesh and I'm a rising sophomore graduating in 2026 with a focus on Computer Science and Data Science. I expected Data 101 to be an intro to the field of data analysis and exploration but I learned a lot more about the field through the prediction challenges. I HIGHLY recommend you participate in the prediction challenges as you gain TONS of experience which will help you grow your data science skills tremendously. I really enjoyed Professor Imielinski’s class and hope you will gain as much from it as I did"
