I grew up in North Carolina and did my PhD here in the Allen School. I worked in Programming Languages, Compilers, and Parallel Computing before doing my PhD in Educational Technology & Pen Computing. I also taught CS at the University of Virginia for 5 years. I've worked a bit in applying Computing to problems in the Developing World but mostly these days my research is in Computer Science Education. Ask me about the CS Education seminar CSE590E. I love to get outdoors whenever I can: running, hiking, backpacking.

Email: hans00

Hello! My name is Hans and I am really excited to be TAing data structure this quarter. I personally believe data structure is one of the most important classes to take if you plan to work in the industry, and I am sure you will have tons of fun in the course!

Just a little about me. I grew up in Shanghai, China, and moved to Seattle when I was 16. Recently I dabbled in learning a bit about stock trading and cryptocurrencies, and it opened up a new world for me. I also got my driver's license recently, and having the freedom to drive around and explore new restaurants has been absolutely amazing.

Looking forward to seeing and getting to know everyone!

Email: timmandz

What's good everybody! I'm Tim, I am a BS/MS student at UW, and I love teaching! I've TAed for CSE 154, CSE 333, and CSE 351 in the past. I currently volunteer at a local high school were I teach an intro to CS class. One fun thing I do at UW is lead the network communications team for a rocket club I'm in (go SARP!).

I love climbing and have really been getting into it this past year. In 2022 my goal is to send a v7. One of the most memorable things I did in 2021 was going bungee jumping. 9.5/10 would go again. I look forward to TAing this class for the first time this quarter! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need help or just want to talk :)

Email: winj

I grew up in Indonesia but came here for UW. This picture was actually taken at a volcano in Indonesia and I'm pretty sure I was inhaling sulfur😓. I initially intended to do EE but after enjoying 142/3, here I am now. I've been TAing this course since last summer and mainly work on the infrastructure of the course.

Aside from school, my biggest hobby is playing video games. Recently, I've been playing a lot of FFXIV, Escape from Tarkov (best wipe yet imo), and theorycrafting Genshin (dry as usual).
