Anwar Baroudi (Instructor)

Hi! I just graduated Berkeley with a BA in Computer Science. I am currently looking for work in the fields of AI and ML as I spend the summer teaching. I enjoy grass naps, live music, the occasional hike and am finally learning to properly cook.

Daniel Fried (Instructor)

Hi everyone -- I’m a grad student interested in natural language processing and machine learning. I’m currently working on combining language understanding with computer vision and interaction. Before Berkeley, I did my undergrad at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I like playing squash and racquetball, reading, and slow cooking.

Hello! I’m a rising senior (sigh) currently interested in AI Safety, consciousness, and philosophy. I’m originally from Italy, and in my free time I love to rant about how good Italian cuisine is, listen to obscure music subgenres, and watch movies.

Hiya, I’m a 3rd year CS major from Southern California and am just so excited to be a part of your CS 188 experience. I loved this course and hope you will too! My non-CS interests include running, herbal teas, and birbs. Can’t wait to see y’all in office hours :-)

Howdy, I am a rising Junior studying Computer Science. I’m originally from Georgia, so I find California pretty wild. I’m pretty interested in both AI and ML. 188 is a great survey class, and I hope you find it as interesting and fulfilling as I did! Hope to see you in office hours!

Hello, my lovely friends. I’m a 3rd-year EECS major who infiltrated this class. Beyond artificial intelligence and research, I often find myself taking care of my hydroponic plants, building meme software, and getting lost.
