EECS16A, Designing Information Devices and Systems I

Laura’s research is in computational imaging, which brings together optical physics and computational algorithms to develop cameras and microscopes that can image efficiently in multi-dimensions. Laura's research spans optics, signals & systems, machine learning and bioengineering, and she's excited to show you how 16A principles can help you build a camera with just Scotch Tape and a sensor. Laura used to have hobbies like hiking, traveling and sleeping, but now has two little kids instead :)

I'm looking forward to meeting you this semester!

Hello! I’m a third year CS major interested in ML, web, and pretty much anything other than blockchain LOL. I from a lot of different places: Shenzhen, Montreal, Vancouver, LA, the Bay… I don’t really know haha. Feel free to talk to me about anything tho: drinking milk from bags, getting auto rejected by Jane Street, and of course 16a and op-amps!

Hey! I’m Joyce, I’m a third year CS major originally from Minnesota. My technical interests include cybersecurity, signals and systems, and biotech. Some things I like doing in my free time are figure skating, playing piano and spontaneously going to Trader Joe's for no reason. I’m very excited to meet you all in lab, and of course feel free to ask me any questions you may have about anything!

Hi, everyone! I'm a fourth year CS major and physics minor, and this is my 6th semester on lab staff! My main technical interests are quantum devices and information science. Outside the classroom, I love Latin literature, all things Tolkien, and ice hockey! I'm always down for a chat about good reading material, sports, tech, or anything else that's on your mind.

Hi everyone, my name is Jared and I'll be a Lab TA this semester. I'm a 4th year MSE/EECS major from the 818 area, and I'm particularly passionate about Firmware/Digital Logic IC Design, and Electrical Materials. I'm a big sports fan, and the performance of my favorite basketball and baseball (and fantasy football) teams probably affect my day to day mood a little too much. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Hey everyone! I’m Anish! I’m a 2nd year EECS major from Tampa, Florida. I’m super excited to serve as a content/discussion uGSI for 16A this semester and contribute to making this course a great experience for you! I thoroughly enjoyed the content in 16A and hope you find appreciation for it as well! Outside the classroom, I enjoy hanging out with friends, watching football (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), listening to music (pop, hip-hop, and rap), and traveling.

I hope you’ll enjoy your time in this course, and feel free to reach out to me!

Hi! My name is Kanav, and I'm a second-year EECS major. I loved taking 16A because it showed me how to model and interact with the real world using linear algebra and circuits. In my free time, you can find me hiking the Fire Trails, grabbing late-night veggie burritos from La Burrita, and listening to all of Taylor Swift's albums. I look forward to meeting all of you!

Through linear algebra and circuit design, 16A showed me the power of mathematical tools and models in real world applications, and I hope you’ll find 16A as rewarding and enriching as I did!

Hello! I’m Anvitha, a fourth-year student studying EECS and Cognitive Science with interests in artificial intelligence and computational neuroscience.

My research is on computational techniques for imaging stuff that changes over time, for electron microscopes and other computational imaging systems. I enjoy rock climbing, darkroom film photography, and cats.

I'm a 5th year PhD student in EECS! My research is on designing digital processors and accelerators for AI applications. Outside of EECS16A and my research, you can find me skiing in Tahoe.
