Hello! I am a fourth year CS major from California. I like penguins. And algorithms!

Hi! I’m a 3rd year EECS and Math major from Mumbai, India. In my free time, I like to play squash, go to the gym and make music. Here are some review slides I made over break that go over important concepts you need for this class.

Hello, I’m a fourth year EECS major and this is my fourth semester teaching CS 170. I enjoy lifting and eating chicken.

Hi everyone, I’m Emaan! I’m a fourth-year CS & Stats major from Orange County, CA! I love eating, reading, watching Netflix, and enjoying the outdoors (and algorithms)! CS 170 is my favorite class at Berkeley, and hopefully, by the end of the semester, it will be yours too!

Hey, I’m a grad student in the theory group. I work on algorithms and enjoy talking about them. Feel free to chat with me about anything about the course and beyond!

Hi! I’m a 4th year interested in theory, and hope you enjoy this class (or at least pretend so plz)!

Hello! I really like CS theory and programming languages. You may see me thinking about these topics and more while going on a long walk with tea in hand. My other interests include music, pop philosophy, hacking, hiking, lifting, and eating my corn in rows.

Hello! I’m Neha, a fourth-year CS student from south bay! In my free time, I like listening to music, playing sudoku, reading strange planet, and watching spoken word poetry!

I’m a graduate student interested in algorithms and complexity.

Rishi is a 4th year EECS & Applied Math learning human from Saratoga CA. If Rishi was born as an animal other than a homo sapien, Rishi would be part cat, dog, lemur, baby elephant, and Tigger. On a typical day, one can find a wild Rishi “singing” “songs”, researching, saying “Good Morning” at all times of the day, studying for class, making amazing puns, and attempting to teach students. Rishi would now like to thank the reader for reading his bio and he very much hopes to see them in discussion!

Hi Everyone! I’m a fourth year studying Computer Science and Bioengineering, hailing from the heart of Silicon Valley. I am passionate about the intersection of technology and medicine. Outside of class, I enjoy dancing, reading up on political issues, and hanging out with friends. I look forward to meeting you all, and hope you enjoy CS 170 as much as I did! :)

Hi! I’m a senior and this is my second semester teaching CS 170. I like food, music, reading, puzzles, hiking and (usually) algorithms. Excited for this semester!

Hi everyone!!! I’m a junior from Shanghai, majoring in CS and Statistics. When I’m sad, Kimchi Garden’s kimchi omelet always heals me - I hope cs170 works the same way for you too.

Hi! I’m Gillian, a fourth-year CS student. I love a lot of things, but lately Computational Biology is my everything. I also like to deviate from recipes, sing along to songs I don’t know the words to, occasionally go on long runs, and ponder other hypothetical careers like stand-up comedy. I hope you learn to love algorithms, but I will talk to you even if you don’t. Here to help you have a great semester :)

Hi, I’m a junior CS major from Changchun, China! Hope you have a great semester and enjoy CS 170!

Hello! I’m a 4th year CS Major. I like Rubik’s Cubes and algorithm. A student once said that the textbook is more fun to read than Harry Potter. I hope y’all feel the same!ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ

Hi! I’m a Math and CS student with avid interests in the outdoors, Italian Literature, piano, and eating amazing food. Can’t wait to teach (and learn) about the deep field of algorithm design with you this semester!

Hi! I’m a third-year CS and Math major from the Bay Area. I love rock climbing, playing D&D, listening to podcasts, and algorithms!

Hi! I am a 4th year in Engineering Math and Statistics. Some of my favorite stuff I do with my free time includes running, rock climbing and sitting around doing nothing. CS 170 was one of my favorite classes and I think you’ll really enjoy it!

Hi everyone! I am Brian, a third-year CS major. I tend to drink an unhealthy amount of Snapple and Coke Zero, so if you ever catch me gulping them down, either remind me to stop it or poke me if you want to hear why I think they are actually healthy for you. I look forward to a great semester!

I’m a big fan of sleeping, anime, and reading (sci-fi/fantasy). hmu w/any recommendations for the latter two and remember to try to get 7 hours of sleep every night :)

Being an algorithms expert is a lot like being a lumberjack: all you do is cut down tasks and get logs. And ideally everything around you isn’t on fire.

Hi! I’m a second year CS major, possibly looking into a second major in mathematics or statistics. In my free time I like to play basketball and fix my over-engineered LaTeX setup.

Hey, I’m Dylan, a 3rd year CS major. I do like algorithms, but I’m also interested in languages, stats, and music. Reach out to me if you have any questions/want to chat about cool things! Hope you have fun with 170!

Hey there! I’m a second-year CS student from Singapore. I love playing tennis and football (the one where you kick a ball), watching TV shows, and solving complex questions that trigger my intellectual curiosity and require aLGorItHmIC tHiNkINg. Jokes aside, hope you have a great semester in 170 and let me know if I can help in any way!

Hey! I’m a junior double majoring in Math/CS, and I absolutely love all types of CS theory, nonsensical mathematics, and the intersection between them! Besides those, I teach kids music, help put on plays, and raise mental health awareness on campus. I spend the little free time I have composing music and watching anime/cartoons.
