I am a 3rd year graduate student advised by Sylvia. I research in understanding systems and their performance. I research in cloud/edge-native computing too, but have a hard time figuring out what the term means.

I enjoy playing (saxophone, clarinet), making (logic), and listening to various kinds of music (Pop, EDM, Reggae). I also enjoy playing all different kinds of video games. I’ve only been to Jamaica and Canada outside of the U.S. but I am hoping to add many more countries as soon as possible.

Qué xopá? I am a fourth year CS major from Panamá and Uruguay. I am interested in Networks, Systems, and Security. I love teaching and I’ve taught introductory CS courses both here and in Lima (Perú), as well as organized some events to make CS and hacking more accesible in Panamá. In my free time I enjoy photography, cooking, and traveling to new places and getting immersed in the local culture.

I’m a third-year grad studying when and how to use learning-based approaches in systems/networks. I come from New York, and my favorite ice cream is Stewart’s Shops Peanut Butter Pandemonium.

Hi! I’m a fourth year CS student from Fuzhou, China. In my free time I enjoy cooking, playing the piano, photography and watching cat videos from YouTube. I also enjoy going to national parks. During the previous thanksgiving break, I went on a road trip to Utah with my friends. I highly recommend visiting that place! I’m looking forward to this semester with you all!

Hello there! I’m a fourth year EECS student from the Chicago area. At Berkeley, I’ve accidentally become a photographer and a 10k runner. I’ve wandered through many fields in the past, among them security, graphics, web development (alas), and astrophysics. I’ve learned here I don’t really know what I’m doing, and I’m okay with that. Just know I take my coffee seriously.

Hej! I’m a 4th year EECS major originally from Michigan, but really from San Diego. I am a fairly active photographer and traveler, as well as a dormant hiker/runner/driver. My recent trip to New Zealand helped me revive those latter hobbies. I studied abroad in Sweden two years ago and spent the semester exploring Europe (If you haven’t gone abroad–DO!). In terms of networking, my favorite layer is actually Layer 1 because I find RF communications super interesting!

Hi everyone! I’m a senior EECS major originally from San Diego. In my free time you might find me playing table tennis, melee, or many intense board games with friends. I also really enjoy watching basketball. Looking forward to a fun semester!

Hi! I’m an EECS Master’s student doing research in consensus algorithms. What brighten my day are >85% chocolate, basketball, and blockchain. I am bad at singing but still try. Cooking is fun too! Looking forward to learning networking together.

Hi there! I’m Shriya, a fourth-year EECS major from North Carolina. I love listening to Bollywood music, going to the beach, and eating ice cream. When I’m not convincing the world that CS rules, you will find me watching Tasty videos or running near the Berkeley Marina. I’m super passionate about networking and the Internet — can’t wait to share that with all of you :)

Hey everyone! I study computer science and biology and I love blending the subjects. I enjoy studying networking, computer vision, and representation learning. In my free time, I like to play soccer (where are my PSG fans?), go surfing, and recently golf (mostly for the Arnold Palmers tbh). I’m excited for this coming semester and I’m very stokked to meet all of you!

Hello! I’m Kevin and some things I enjoy are reading science fiction, those new futuristic BART cars, tea, and a fast wired (i.e. Ethernet) internet connection. Academically I am interested in systems as a whole, and am very excited to be teaching 168 this semester!

I love trying new food. I often check news in the poster wall in the Sather Gate and the Mofitt Library. In my opinion, my hometown Seoul is the coolest place. Lots of food to enjoy, and also safe at night even if you are outside. I like the transport layer because it is where the most of the algorithmic developments in internet are happening, and testing a new algorithm is usually free while testing new hardware can be expensive.
