Staff (OH)

Office Hours

Office Hours are scheduled times to meet with members of the course staff. You can discuss course concepts, get assistance with specific parts of the assignments, or talk about life outside of Computer Science.

Like everything else, Office Hours will be held virtually rather than in the Allen and Gates centers. Please visit the Zoom links page for the link to a particular meeting.

Course Staff

If you have a general question that other students could potentially benefit from, please post on Ed. You can also set your questions to private or anonymous.

For logistical questions (such as extenuating circumstances and DRS accomodations), we ask that you post privately on Ed so the whole staff can help. For sensitive situations, you should feel free to email Robbie directly.

You can also schedule 1:1 time with the course staff in addition to regular Office Hours. It is particularly important to us that you feel connected in an online quarter, so please get in touch!

When I’m not teaching or playing intramural softball, I use the tools of theoretical computer science to research problems I care about—ask me about my goal of fixing the Olympic Badminton Tournament.

I was born in Moscow, but have lived near Seattle since middle school. When I catch a break from computer vision research, I enjoy mountaineering, photography, plotting the demise of capitalism, and running. CSE 311 was my favorite pre-400 CSE course, and I hope it will be yours too!
