Hi there!! My name is Mishty. I'm a senior majoring in EECS, and this is my fourth(!!) semester on course staff and as Head TA for the course. Prior to 16A, I was on 16B staff for 2 semesters. In my free time, I enjoy playing the electric guitar, trying out new restaurants, and traveling. Have a great semester! :)

Howdy, I'm a second year engineering physics major and this is my first time tutoring in this class. I think the stuff you're gonna learn here is pretty cool, and I hope you'll agree! My technical interests are still developing, but I think signal processing is neat. I like going on long bike rides and running, playing board games with my friends, and being a Constant Reader.

Hey 16A, I'm Divij, and you'll probably find me helping out with 16A's labs. I'm interested in signal processing and ML applications, for which this class is essential. I enjoy visiting new places at high frequency, playing video games e.g. BTD6 at medium frequency, and surfing Wikipedia at low frequency. Excited to support y'all this spring!

Hi! I'm a second year Applied Math major. I absolutely LOVE 16A, especially because the concepts I learned have been directly relevant to my research in computational neuroscience. In my free time, I like playing basketball. I'm also trying to re-learn the piano!
