Hey everyone! I’m Nate. I just finished my bachelor’s degree last spring, and will be starting my master’s degree in mathematics at the University of Cambridge next fall. I TA’d for CS 70 five times as an undergraduate, so I’m super excited to get to come back one more time to teach you all. I hope you all have a great summer with us, and please come by to my office hours if you ever want to chat!

Hi! I’m Nikki, a CS/DS/Math major born in Vancouver and raised in the South Bay. I’m so excited to be teaching this class over the summer – my hope is to make everything a lot less scary, and to show you all the reasons why I love probability theory :) In my free time, I like going on solo trips, reading, and finding the best boba in Berkeley.

Victor Huang (he/him)

vortic@ • website

I got my BS in EECS when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, and now I work at a software startup as a manager. I’ve been brought out of cryogenic hibernation to teach CS 70 this summer. I was a TA for 70 for three summers, once as Head TA, and was a reader 5 times. I also teach CS 375 over the summer, and this will be my tenth time doing so! I’m incredibly excited to be teaching this summer, and it’s my sincere hope that you all enjoy this class as much as I do.
