Moses Samson Charikar is an Indian-American computer scientist who is a professor at Stanford University and was earlier a professor at Princeton University. His research covers approximation algorithms, streaming algorithms and metric embeddings, and he is known for creating the SimHash algorithm that Google uses to detect near duplicate documents. Born in Bombay, he competed for India at the 1990 and 1991 International Mathematical Olympiads, winning bronze and silver medals, then studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and completed a doctorate at Stanford in 2000 under Rajeev Motwani. In 2012 he shared the Paris Kanellakis Award with Andrei Broder and Piotr Indyk for work on locality-sensitive hashing.
