Gani BhaskaraI am a senior majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In my free time, I like to play basketball and read comic books. I am a transfer student from Santa Monica College in Socal. I am currently pursuing a bachelor degree in UC Berkeley.
Steven BiSteven is a sophomore, majoring in both Computer Science and Sociology, with additional interests in Linguistics and Classical Latin. His interest in CS originates from competing in programming contests in high school, and has been part of Berkeley's ACM teams for the last two years. In addition, he is always looking for people to play Magic the Gathering with, particularly EDH.
Ena HariyoshiI am a second-year undergraduate student, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in EECS. I am working with Anant Sahai to illustrate CS70/information theory concepts. I enjoy all sorts of stories, except live-action ones, for some reason.
Joseph HuiJoseph is a 2nd-year EECS student. His favorite classes so far have probably been 61A, 61B and of course, CS70. Among other things, Joseph enjoys algorithms, puzzles (if you feel similarly, feel free to ask him about them), video games (like the new XCOM), sewing (not especially competently), and explaining concepts while shouting loudly and waving his arms around wildly in the misguided belief that it increases comprehension. He does not understand why people dislike the Foothill DC food.

Random fact: As a child Joseph stuck his finger through a hole in a plastic combination ruler/stencil to see what would happen. His finger became stuck and adults were forced to snap the ruler in two in order to free it. Since that day he has sworn to never stick his finger in a plastic combination ruler/stencil ever again.
Alexander Irpan I'm a second-year undergraduate in Computer Science, and I'm considering a Math major as well. I took CS 70 last spring, and I'm taking CS 170 this semester. So far, my favorite part of computer science is the algorithms. My hobbies are playing video games and reading web fiction.
Leo KamI am in my junior year, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in EECS. My favorite class is CS 164 (Compiler), whose projects taught me a lot about teamwork, software engineering and, most importantly, time management.

Random fact: I enjoy playing sports but dislike watching other people play sports. On the other hand, I enjoy watching people play video games more so than playing myself.
Diego KinerI am an EECS major but I also like to take math and physics classes. I really enjoyed 61B, and I have experience tutoring for many of the lower division courses. I also like to make music; I play drums in UC Jazz.
Robinson KuoRobinson is a senior pursuing his BA in Computer Science and BS in Chemical Engineering. He'll be interning at Amazon this summer, so please let him know what fun things he should do in Seattle!
