Alex Kazorian
Alex (at) cs61bl.org
Hey everyone! I’m Alex and I am a rising junior majoring in CS. Cool fact: one of my proudest accomplishments is a 10+ page paper on Kanye West’s “The College Dropout”. If you ever find me, I’m probably procrastinating by looking for new music or watching/playing basketball so feel free to talk to me about anything including Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead (being the best band of all time), the Lakers, or how amazing HashMaps are.
Antares Chen

Sometimes I like to sit on a shelf and pretend I’m a book.
Ching Fang
ching (at) cs61bl.org
Hello, I'm an upcoming 4th year in Molecular & Cell Biology and CS. Outside of academia, I enjoy climbing and running. Talk to me about CS, or recommend a book to me!
Christine Zhou
christine (at) cs61bl.org
Hello! My name is Christine and I'm a Computer Science major from the East Bay. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, drums, and video games. I decided to become a CS major after taking 61B, so I look forward to teaching and hope you enjoy 61B as much as I did!
JC Dy
jc (at) cs61bl.org
Kumusta! My name's JC, which stands for Joshua Caleb (not Jesus Christ). When I have downtime I like jamming with my ukulele/piano, unreservedly trying all kinds of new foods, hoarding free swag, and spontaneously hanging out with friends. I'm always down to chat about CS, learn something in your native language, or share my favorite places to eat good food!
josh (at) cs61bl.org
Hi! My name’s Josh, and I’m a second year CS major from the Bay Area. I enjoy going to hackathons, head bumping to rap music (J.Cole/Chance/Big Sean/Drake), and eating burritos. I’m also in CSM and Secretary for the Cal Fencing Club. I really love teaching CS, and I hope to meet as many of you as possible this semester. I’m always down to talk, so feel free to reach out to me!
Kevin Chang
kevin (at) cs61bl.org
G R E E T. My name is Kevin, and I'm a rising 3rd year EECS student here at Cal. Fun fact, my naps are exactly 21 minutes long. When I'm not sleeping, I like cooking (zero self-inflicted incidences of food poisoning so far), eating (too much), and attempting physical fitness (so I can eat more). Excited to meet you all!
matt (at) cs61bl.org
HI! I'm a rising 3rd year in BioE & EECS and I'm a product of 61BL woohoo! I really, really enjoy pastel colors (mmm mint, lavender, coral) because I like to pretend I'm art$y even though I'm actually clueless. My most recent discovery is that Oooolong is not only a luscious boba flavor, but also a very handsome permutation of English letters. Come find me and we can develop these and many more tangential theories some more! (or we can talk about data structures too I guess hehe.)
Sam Zhou
sam (at) cs61bl.org
I'm Sam, a rising 3rd year CS and Stats (maybe?) major. I've lab assisted, I've tutored, and now I'm excited to be a TA this summer! I find it hard to say where I'm from since I've moved from China -> South Carolina -> NYC -> NYC -> NJ -> Upstate NY -> Upstate NY -> Upstate NY -> and now here in Berkeley! Things I enjoy include: trying new foods, taking nice hikes, any games - board or video, and cooking slightly above mediocre dishes for friends and family.
Steven Lin
steven (at) cs61bl.org
Hello! My name is Steven and I enjoy drinking lots of boba and being a cat in my free time. I am declared CS and CS61B was my favorite class. I look forward to meeting all of you!
Ting Ding
ting (at) cs61bl.org
I'm Ting, a second year studying Computer Science and minoring in Chinese. I'm from St. Louis but I live in the Bay area now! In my free time I like to sing, play volleyball, cook (not very well), and drink boba. You can probably find me running (after cats) or (not) studying in Moffitt. 61BL was my favorite class at Cal so I'm super excited to be TAing for it this summer! I hope you enjoy this course as much as I did!

Hi! My name is Alison and I’m an incoming 3rd year Computer Science major. In my spare time I like dancing and listening to kpop :) I love teaching 61b and I’m excited to meet everyone!
Diana Tai
diana (at) cs61bl.org
Hi! My name is Diana and I'm a third year CS student from SoCal. I have an 8 year old bichon mix named Bunny and my favorite flavor of ice cream is mint. See you in lab!
Gi-Gi Lu
gigi (at) cs61bl.org
Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m a rising third year Computer Science major from San Francisco. I enjoy eating dumplings, baking cookies, walking (but not running), and teaching. Something I truly believe in is, "If it's important enough to you, you will find a way. If it's not, you will find an excuse." Email me if you have any questions at all!
Matthew Owen
matthew (at) cs61bl.org
Hey everyone. My name is Matt and I am a upcoming second year Mechanical Engineering → EECS major. I was born and raised in Maryland so shout out to all the East Coasters (but I think we can all admit the weather here is better). Anyways I like all kinds of weird stuff but some of my favorites are photography, math, any and all food, skateboarding, and of course memes. 61B is amazing so I can’t wait to work with and meet all of you!
Wayne Li
wayne (at) cs61bl.org
Hi everyone! I'm a 4th year CS major/failed Chemistry major! In my spare time I like to nerd up on machine learning, look at cool molecules, binge watch TV shows and fawn over my favorite data structures (just kidding) (not really). I look forward to meeting all of you! :)
