Below is the course staff for the semester. Please make an Ed post before emailing TAs and instructors. If you have a very private matter, you may email the instructors and Head TA.
Professor Saremi is a Principal Research Scientist at Genentech, where he leads a team in Frontier Research. His research is on generative modeling and the problem of sampling from high-dimensional distributions. To see more, visit this page.
Hi! I’m Suchir, a 4th year math and CS major. This is my third semester on staff for 189, and I’m super excited to be here. I’m in Jennifer’s research group, so my work broadly falls under computational biology. A bit more about me: I hail from Pennsylvania, am an avid classical music enthusiast, and enjoy my time in CSM (best club on campus!). I’m excited to meet you all and hope you have a great semester.
Hey everyone! My name is Aryan and I am a 5th year EECS MS from Minnesota. I work on robot learning and computer vision research. Outside of school, I like photography, random board games, and I am trying to learn tennis. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about anything :)
Hi! I’m Grace, a third year EECS PhD student in computer vision. My primary research interests lie in studying multimodal vision and language models as well as knowledge in generative models. In my free time I like to run, listen to podcasts about art history and the internet, and write songs on my ukulele.
Hi everyone! My name is James and I’m a 4th year EECS major interested in reinforcement learning and robotics at scale. Outside of school, I am a major food and transit enthusiast. Looking forward to a great semester!
I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in the EECS department at UC Berkeley, coadvised by Profs. Nir Yosef and Michael Jordan. My primary interests are in single-cell genomics, specifically in the application of deep learning and probabilistic models for single-cell data analysis.
Hi! I’m a 5th-year EECS PhD student working in machine learning applied to genomics. Outside of research, I enjoy playing sports, losing at chess, and cooking. Looking forward to working with you all this semester!
hi! i’m vedant, currently a senior here studying CS. outside of school, i like bouldering, recently got into running, enjoy cooking new meals, and love watching horror movies. my academic background tends to be more on the ML side (hence this class), and i’ve applied a lot of ML to my internships at some finance places. reach out if you want to chat about anything or want advice!
Hi, I’m Euhan, a 4th year majoring in CS and applied math. I’m from Boston and in my free time I enjoy playing tennis or reading wall street bets. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Hi! I’m Rohan, a 4th year undergrad from the Bay Area. I’m interested in computer vision and software that moves robots. I love listening to live music, trying street food, and watching movies. Hope you all have a great semester!
Hi! I’m Zekai, a 3rd year CS and Math major from Shanghai, China. I am interested in machine learning and robotics. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and watching Premier League & Formula 1. It’s going to be my second time being a CS 189 staff. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Hi, I’m Riteka, a senior studying EECS from the Bay Area. In my free time, I love painting (acrylic + gouache are my favorites) and eating Chipotle. I’m also interested in blockchain aside from ML. Hope you have a great semester!
Hi, my name is Yixin, and I am currently a senior at Berkeley studying CS and Applied Math. During my free time, I enjoy playing ping pong as well as trying out new food! Looking forward to this awesome semester of CS 189!
