Hi everyone! My name is Arvind Swamynathan, and I am a senior studying bioengineering and minoring in EECS and Data Science. After graduating, I wish to pursue graduate studies and later enter the biotechnology industry as a biomedical engineer. I am currently pursuing research in the Berkeley Imaging Systems Laboratory, and I am specifically working on improving the resolution of a Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) system by optimizing the physics of its iron oxide nanoparticle tracers. I love EECS 16A because the mathematical fundamentals of linear algebra, system stability, and feedback control provide the foundations for much of the field of electrical engineering. For fun, I love to travel and document my adventures in a blog.

Hi! I'm a second year from Socal/Beijing studying EECS. Contrary to what my name might suggest, I'm quite bad at golf (though I do play it). Talk to me if you like Joe Hisaishi!!! (or even if you don't, you can still talk to me :))

I tutored Donald Trump's grandchildren for a year.

Hi! I'm Joshua, and I'm a 2nd year EECS student. I'm interested in researching LLMs, HCI, and computer algorithms.
