Hello, I’m excited to teach for you all! I really like CS theory and math. My other interests include music, pop philosophy, hacking, hiking and lifting, and eating my corn in rows. I was born in Israel and grew up in the Bay Area.

Hey, I’m Vinay! I’m currently a senior, majoring in CS, and this is my second semester teaching CS 170. I love consuming food, movies, and music almost as much as I love talking about them, so do stop by and chat some time.

Hi all! I am a third-year CS & Applied Math major. To me, this course is like an art appreciation of the most brilliant minds in the history of CS & Math. I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from this. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, listening to music and playing soccer. Feel free to chat with me about anything!

Hi there! I’m Julia, a third-year EECS student from London, Ontario, Canada (it’s near Toronto). I love playing soccer, snowboarding, hitting the gym, painting, dog spotting, and algorithms (obviously) - come talk to me about any of these things :) CS 170 is a beautiful class and I hope you’ll agree with me after the semester is over!

I’m Nate, I’m a 3rd-year undergrad in EECS. I love CS theory, machine learning, and distinctive shirts, and I’m looking for more CS puns. In my free time, I like to waste all my free time. This semester, I want to focus on imparting intuition, and also imparting the fact that 170 is the best class and theoretical computer science is the best computer science.

Hi! I’m a third year computer science major from the South Bay. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, and exploring places. I also love meeting new people, and reading! Feel free to recommend me a book and/or talk about anything from algorithms to cats! :)
