  • I'm a fourth year CS major and Political Economy minor, and I absolutely love CS188 (taking it and teaching it). So I'm super excited for you all to experience the class this summer! My current research interest is in human-robot interaction. In my free time, I love baking, playing tennis, and clicking around Wikipedia. Feel free to reach out to talk about anything!

  • Hi, I'm a 3rd year CS PhD student and I work on trying to get robots to do cool things with reinforcement/imitation learning without causing too much damage in the process :P In my free time I like playing/watching tennis, going on hiking/biking trips near the ocean, and venturing down aimless YouTube rabbit holes. Looking forward to getting to know all of you this summer!
