EECS16A, Foundations of Signals, Dynamical Systems, and Information Processing

Hi! I'm a senior studying EECS and minoring in data science. This is my third semester on EECS16A staff and as Head TA for the course. Previously, I was on EECS16B staff for two semesters. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places with friends, eating good food, and (poorly) playing the electric guitar. Hope you enjoy the class!!

Hey guys! I'm a senior in EECS with a focus on robotics and machine learning. When I'm not doing homework, making homework, or procrastinating on related works research, I play Dragonvale, binge random video essays, and relish a good shower. Let's make this semester a great one!

i love controls

Howdy! I'm a 5th year EECS MS student (I'm technically a senior though) from Pasadena, CA. I'm interested in robotics and ML. This is my 5th semester on staff. In my free time, some of the things I enjoy are playing Catan and going to the gym. Automatic A+ for whoever beats me in a Catan 1v1. Looking forward to a great semester! Fun Fact: I learned that Prof. Babak was my dad's TA sometime in the 90s at a different university...

Hi! I'm Ben, a fourth-year EECS major. My primary technical interest is power electronics. In my free time, I enjoy playing frisbee, speedrunning Mario, and playing the piano. Feel free to reach out!

Hi friends! I'm a 3rd year EECS major from across the globe and this is my third time on 16A staff. I speak English, Spanish, Mandarin, and know some Portuguese and Latin. Along with learning new languages, I also enjoy working out, traveling, and trop house music. Looking forward to meeting you! Reach out anytime ;)

Hi! I'm Sunash, a 5th year EECS PhD student studying modeling and optimization of electric power systems with lots of renewable resources. I'm particularly interested in grid capacity expansion: Where should we build new generators and power lines to ensure everyone gets cheap, reliable, clean electricity in the future? My research involves optimization techniques rooted in linear algebra, so the material covered in 16A is foundational to my research! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring new places. If you want to chat about courses, research interests, or life at Berkeley, feel free to reach out!

I'm a third year PhD student studying computational imaging and visual neuroscience. My research involves building theoretical models of what the brain is doing, and trying to ground them in real data. I also explore retina-inspired sensing through event-based cameras for their efficiency in capturing fast motion. Outside of work, I like to spend my time climbing, cooking, baking, and fermenting. Most recently I've been baking canelés, growing koji, and making rice wine.

Hi! I’m really excited to be on the 16A course staff this semester. I’m an EECS major with interests in computer architecture, AI, and circuit design. I’ve previously done research at BWRC and BETR, focusing on custom FPGA architectures. Outside of academics, I enjoy skiing, hiking, basketball, and petting my cat.

Hi! I’m a senior majoring in EECS, and this is my second time on 16A staff. I find 16A cool because the concepts you’ll learn pop up (sometimes unexpectedly) in real world problems. My technical interests are data science, software engineering, and seeing whatever hacky things you can do with a terminal. Outside of tech, I love music (singing, playing piano, or airbowing violin). Feel free to chat!

Hi! I'm Mallika, a 3rd year EECS major from the Bay. I'm interested in many different areas within EECS but currently exploring machine learning. In my free time, I love to try out new crafts (currently knitting), go on walks, play tennis, and cook/bake. I love teaching for EECS 16A, so feel free to reach out anytime!

Hey everyone! I'm Andrew and I'm a 4th year EECS & IEOR major. I enjoy playing poker, watching football and hockey, and waking up for those 6am F1 races. Looking forward to another semester of 16A!

Hello! I am an EECS PhD Candidate in Prof. Chunlei Liu's lab, where I work on pulse sequence design for magnetic resonance imaging. My research is fundamentally based on signal processing, and I am very excited to teach 16A, since it introduces many of the core concepts that are essential to my work. Outside of research and teaching, I enjoy watching k-dramas, painting, and traveling to explore new places whenever I can. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all, and please feel free to reach out if you have questions about the course or about grad school!

Hello! I'm a third year EECS major from Minnesota. My technical interests are in computer vision and image segmentation. In my free time, I enjoy watching football (go Vikings), hiking, and going to the gym. Looking forward to a fun semester!

Hey y’all! I’m Baris. I’m a 3rd year majoring in EECS and minoring in MSE. This is my second semester on the lab staff and my first semester as a TA. I’m really interested in all things semiconductor, and I do research at TiLab here on campus. In my freetime, I enjoy playing guitar and hanging out with friends. I hope by the end of this semester you’ll enjoy labs as much as I do. Looking forward to meeting everyone, and feel free to reach out!

Hi! I'm Sidd, a senior majoring in EECS. I'm interested in software engineering for financial systems and general system design. I am also the hardware lead for NeuroTech at Berkeley.

I am a transfer student in my last semester as an undergrad in EECS. I am currently participating in research with the NLP group at BAIR (Berkeley AI Research Lab) focused on parallel reasoning and task decomposition in LLMs. I am interested in AI alignment, interpretability and safety more broadly; which I hope to pursue for my PhD soon! Outside of school I am interested in botany and mycology, film photography, and reading about economic and political theory.
