Edwin Lim he/him/his
Hi! I’m Edwin, and I’m a senior from San Diego. This class is pretty cool!
Abraham Gonzalez He/Him/His GSI (252a)
Hello, everyone! My name is Abraham Gonzalez and I am a Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of California at Berkeley in the SLICE lab (formerly the ADEPT lab) under Professor Krste Asanovic. I am a highly motivated individual, passionate on learning more about computer microarchitecture and datacenter computing. I hope to make future computing faster, more efficient, and more available to all.
Jamie Hong she/her/hers
Just in time to things.
Aside from classrooms, often found deep in a book, playing puzzle platformers, fiddling with split keyboards, or walking to Soda Hall.
May occasionally create art.
Interested in computer architecture (of course!), distributed database systems, etc.
Excited for the semester, and good luck!
Prashanth Ganesh He/Him GSI (252a)

Hi everybody, my name is Prashanth and I’m incredibly excited to serve as a TA for 152/252 this semester! I am a 2nd year PhD student advised by Professor Sophia Shao. This is one of my favorite classes at Berkeley so I’m looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
Allison Husain she/her/hers
Allison is a fourth year Computer Science major. She can be seen rollerblading to class everyday (say hi!). Her safer, more academic interests center on hardware/software security and operating systems. Ask her about side channels, writing zero-click exploits, or just any activity which has “skate” in the name 🙂
Divija Hasteer she/her/hers
Hey there! I’m a fourth year undergrad interested in the intersection of theory and hardware. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing chess on the intersection of Telegraph and Haste, and napping (especially). I look forward to reading and grading your work! Feel free to reach out to me about anything except regrade requests (just kidding).
