EECS16A, Designing Information Devices and Systems I

I'm a professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, and I work on research on Computational Microscopy, in which we design imaging systems that use physics/optics hardware and computational software together to do things that neither could do alone. Your cell phone camera probably has a lot of great examples of computational imaging, like portrait mode, HDR, and image bursts, and we'll learn a bit about imaging in this course! I look forward to working with you all this spring, even if only via Zoom.

I'm a third-year EECS major currently conducting research in power electronics. My favorite part of 16A is the circuits module: I find the creative aspect of circuit design to be quite rewarding, and the hands-on lab work is super fun. Outside of academics, I love outdoor adventures (particularly aquatic ones), classical music, and cooking.

Hi! My name is Anika. I am a 3rd year studying Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR for short) which is all about optimization and efficiency (i.e. making the world as lazy as I am)! This is my fifth semester on course staff for EECS 16A. I love this class because it helps bring fundamental concepts to life through an application focus. Outside of academics, I love to spend time with friends and watch netflix (always looking for good recommendations!) I am also a dancer and enjoy karaoke-ing disney songs. I look forward to this semester and I hope to help make this class a great experience for each and every one of you. Welcome to EECS 16A!

Hey there! I'm a second year EECS major currently involved in research in computational imaging, and this is my fourth semester on course staff. In my free time I love cooking, knitting, and walking around Berkeley. I loved taking 16A because it teaches how to use the concepts of linear algebra and circuit analysis as tools to apply to real problems, and I hope you enjoy the course as much as I did! I'm excited to get to know you this semester :)

Hi! I'm Raghav, a junior in the EECS major. I am really interested in Computer Architecture, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing (so far :). 16A is one of the best classes I've taken at Berkeley so far because of the unique perspective it gives one on solving real world problems with the simplicity of linear algebra. I'm very passionate about aviation, technology, soccer and F1. I love traveling, hiking and endurance running and cycling. Oh and I thoroughly enjoy talking to people, so feel free to hit me up!

I'm a third year EECS major interested in embedded systems and aerospace. I like 16A because it provides a foundation in linear algebra and circuits with fun and interesting labs. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, video games, and hiking.

Hi everyone! I'm a second year EECS student. I'm excited to work on the 16A software team this year to make sure the class runs smoothly for you all. On campus I participate in micro-robotics research, and in my free time I enjoy running!

Hi! I'm a 3rd year CS + Stats Major interested in all things Robotics and AI. In my free time, I enjoy playing squash, discussing politics, and ruining family photos. Looking forward to another semester at Zoom University!

Hello! I’m a sophomore studying Computer Science as an excuse to start the robot uprising. Currently, I’m researching how to teach robots to walk upright and push blocks on a table with machine learning (read: linear algebra). When I get frustrated with their progress, I watch Korean movies, write about philosophy, appreciate wordplay in books and puzzles, and reminisce about how cool least squares is.

Hi all! I'm a third year EECS major and I am a discussion TA this semester. I'm interested in digital circuit design, computer architecture, and firmware programming. My favorite non-EECS related pastimes are playing video games, eating, and running.

Hi folks! I'm Lily, a senior studying EECS. In my spare time, I do research at CLTC and Haas, read interesting CS papers, and search for the most delicious way to cook cremini mushrooms. 16A was my favorite class as a freshman, and I look forward to helping make discussion fun and informative this semester!

Salutations! I'm Aster, a third-year double majoring in Computer Science & Classical Languages (Latin and Greek). In my free time, I like practicing wushu (martial arts), reading novels, watching dramas, and writing stories :) My most recent obsession is MDZS/The Untamed. Feel free to talk to me any time or send me your favorite book recs!

My name is Dixun and I'm a mechanical engineering major from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, North America, Earth. I'm a die hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan and I also like playing and losing chess games, severely undercooking my steaks, losing money on put options, and jogging 1 mile once a week for exercise.

Hello there! I'm a second year studying EECS and I'm really interested in machine learning, signal processing, and theoretical computer science. I'm currently doing research about applications of machine learning in education. In my free time I enjoy running, board games, exploring theories behind the meaning of life, and slaying noobs in Minecraft. I hope EECS 16A gives you infinite power with knowledge, and that you have a great semester!

Hi, I’m a 3rd year EECS major and I’m interested in the applications of machine learning and neural networks in autonomous driving and quantitative finance. Having grown up in Abu Dhabi, I love cold places. Talk to me about the IPL, cricket in general, and any of my academic interests. I wish you a great semester ahead!

Hey everyone! I'm a fourth year studying Bioengineering and EECS. On campus, I'm involved with the Society of Women Engineers and the Biomedical Engineering Society. In my free time, I love to bake, read, work out (although this happens very infrequently at this point), and photoshop my friends onto memes. Looking forward to a great semester!

Hello! I am a senior in EECS. My favourite part of 16A were the labs, so I hope you will enjoy them too! My research involves developing a model to predict wildfire ignitions due to electric grid infrastructure in California. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, drinking tea and (recently) doing DIY crafts during shelter-in-place.

Hi my name is Miyuki and I am a 5th year Masters student studying Mechanical Engineering. My technical interests include mechanical design and mechatronics, generally I enjoy any activity where I get to make stuff.

I am a junior, majoring in Physics, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics. My primary technical interests and areas of research activity are in Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Information theory. I am particularly interested in the application of Quantum algorithms to Optimization and Machine learning problems. Outside academia, I participate in British parliamentary debate with the Debate Society of Berkeley. My favourite things to do in Berkeley in my spare time are to go on long bike rides and to hike the fire trails. I think that EECS16A is a uniquely foundational class, as it teaches immensely useful fundamental ideas in linear systems theory that are used virtually everywhere in the physical sciences and in engineering, at every level of complexity. I particularly enjoyed that the class exemplifies how a small but powerful set of mathematical tools and hardware abstractions can be used to design notably sophisticated systems.

I'm a 3rd year grad student working on electrical links. I did my undergrad here at Berkeley and actually took EE16A the first time it was offered. The 16AB series were some of my favorite classes during undergrad and inspired me to study circuits. In my spare time, I enjoy biking, ballroom dance, arranging music, and cooking.

David is a PhD student in EECS, and he works in the area of computational imaging for optical and electron microscopy. He hopes to interact with young minds when teaching 16A, and hopes that he has a couple of more friends when the semester is over.

I am a physics and electrical engineering PhD student who conducts research in Computational physics and atomic modeling. I really enjoy studying quantum physics, but when I’m not working I like soccer, hiking, surfing, climbing, and anything really that’s gets you moving and filled with adrenaline!

I'm a PhD student in EECS working on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems and optical beam steering devices. I'm broadly interested in the area of silicon photonics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). In my spare time I enjoy traveling, running, and cooking.
