On Saturday, a local teenager achieved a remarkable milestone as 17-year-old RJ Krishnaswamy received his master’s degree in computer science from the University of Pittsburgh. RJ had previously earned his bachelor’s degree from Pitt last year and shared his excitement with KDKA-TV, expressing his happiness to have something tangible to show for his hard work.
RJ’s academic journey was not without its challenges, especially when it came to defending a thesis. However, he felt proud to have achieved this milestone and expressed gratitude to Professor Daniel Mosse, who commended him for choosing the University of Pittsburgh for both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Mosse expressed pride in the work that RJ had done so far and especially in terms of publication opportunities that may lay ahead for the young graduate.
Now equipped with his master’s degree, RJ is eagerly awaiting a response from Pitt regarding the beginning of his doctorate studies. This educational achievement at such a young age highlights the dedication and hard work that RJ has put into his academic pursuits, setting him on a path towards continued success in the field of computer science.
