Hello, I’m a first-year lecturer in EECS (so don’t call me Professor please). I did my undergrad at Berkeley, where I TA’d for a few classes (including CS 61C, CS 161, and CS 188 once). Then I did a masters’ at Berkeley, where I studied computer science education with Nicholas Weaver and Dan Garcia. This is my second time teaching CS 188 as co-instructor, so any feedback/advice/complaints are appreciated!

Hi! I am a senior from China studying math and CS here at Berkeley. In my free time, I like to cook, read some books, and play some video games (mostly first-person shooters). I am super excited to teach 188 this semester, and feel free to talk to me about 188, long email addresses, or more!

Hi! I’m a 4th year Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley, where I’m advised by Prof. Trevor Darrell and a member of Berkeley AI Research (BAIR). My research focuses on designing computer vision models that can understand and learn from the plethora of internet videos, in a fashion similar to humans. To this end, my recent work explores learning multimodal representations from videos and using these to summarize and edit videos. I’m also interested in vision applications for wildlife conservation. I help co-organize the Berkeley AI Research Climate Initiative, where we focus on developing real-world solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.

I am a second-year PhD student studying computer science, advised by Prof. Stuart Russell and Prof. Sanjit Seshia. I’m interested in human-AI cooperation, multiagent systems, and AI safety. In my research I use tools from machine learning, game theory, and formal methods. In my free time, I enjoy climbing/bouldering, cycling, hiking, and playing board games.
