About Us

ECE hipster. Someone or the other made me PiE Sensors PM, so that's cool. Likes memes, Initial D, JoJo, and OVO Sound in no particular order. I'm from SF, so I'm always down to complain about BART/Muni/Caltrain, if for whatever reason you want to do that. Likes engaging in unsolicited political discussions mostly to make people uncomfortable. Very loud when soldering, handle with care. Is the 3rd best at smash in PiE, and PROUDLY mains Roy, our boy. Watch them down tilts.

Italian food is the best kind of food

I'm a 20 year old, second generation Japanese boy that likes being stress free. I like EE stuff, mostly low level hardware. I'd like to be a computer architect or a microchip designer. I'm the head lab TA for EE16A, so that's fun, since teaching has been a favorite past time of mine. In PiE I am the Hardware Coordinator, which means you can come ask me anything you want to about hardware and I'll do my best to answer your questions! As for hobbies, I've been doing karate for 14 years, play games casually with friends, and am basically down for any outdoor activity.

I TA for 70, in case you need someone to take out your frustrations with the class on :) I'm trying to get together a new group of people to play board games semi-regularly, since basically everyone else who used to graduated. I prefer to not write code. Or HTML, for that matter.

How do you know polynomials are well educated? They all have a degree.

Hey, I'm Brandon! I grew up down in SoCal in Irvine, CA, and am now here studying Computer Science. I am a TA for CS61B, as well as PiE's Director of Engineering for this upcoming year. In my free time I enjoy playing games of all sorts, but perhaps melee slightly more than other games. I also enjoying going out into the outdoors, whether it be to hike or snowboard or camp. Please feel free to come talk to me about CS, classes, or anything at all!

The day I was born was glorious...jkjk, all serious: Robotics plays an important part of my life. I was in FLL for four years and in FRC for two years. I love being in PiE because I can give back to the community and build robots.

Current Dawn/UI Project Manager. Person probably in way too many things.

I'm Hong. I enjoy watching the NBA and playing basketball as well. I am also actively involved in AI Robotics research and hope to pursue a PhD in ML/AI. If you are down to ball or are one of the few CS students not joining industry after graduation, feel free to reach out.

Hello. I like programming. I use LaTeX to write documentation, because it's cool.

AKA Yejin, Angles, Ang, or Angie. Avid Bruno Mars fan. Likes to groove to anything that's groovy. Uses phrases like poppin' . Believes in the power of education. Wants to spend every day laughing, learning with purpose and taking care of myself and those around me. Loves to smile, loves to eat.

I enjoy reading about philosophy and try very hard to ascribe to optimistic nihilism though sometimes the pessimism will come through. I really like cats. Originally I was (and still am) a math major that's taken a very long, interesting detour into computer science. I also like knitting and gardening. Follow @meow_boy_jeff on instagram

From a scale of Cheeseboard to Chez Panisse I'm a McNugget

Hi! I'm from San Ramon, a town just 20 miles away from Berkeley. If you have any questions about IEOR or the mechanical side of PiE Robotics please feel free to ask me!

Sometimes I write code, produce electronic music, and hold long introspective conversations with potted plants. I also think computers are pretty cool, so there's that.

I like adventure time and hiking!

Besides studying and sleeping (which are pretty much staples of any college student's schedule), Lily enjoys writing, reading / watching / listening to anything sci-fi ("Doctor Who" and "Welcome to Night Vale"!) or horror, and binge-watching anime (hit her up if you want to talk about character analyses or simply wax poetic about shows like "Haikyuu!!", "Yuri!!! on Ice", or "Steins;Gate"). She frequently takes spontaneous walks around campus to unwind, while humming (maybe singing, too) Imagine Dragons or movie soundtracks. Her lifelong dreams are to install floor-to-ceiling whiteboards in her bedroom and to eventually adopt a cat.

My name is Youqi Chen. I'm from China, and this is my first semester here at the US. I love hiking and dance, and I always spend a lot of my spare time writing and watching interesting videos. Really curious about what engineering is!

I am a mechanical engineering student interested in design and controls. PIE has been a great learning experience for me here at UC Berkeley. I hope to continue to learn in this organization until I graduate.

If you know me, you know me.

Socal native from Orange County here! The most indecisive person you'll ever met, but for sure interested in science/education and always down to chat/eat/stress out over life together! XD

I wanted to be a musician!

Hi everyone, My name is Rahul and I'm a sophomore at Cal. I joined PiE to meet new people and learn new things. In my spare time, of which I have none, I like to meet up with friends, play Pokemon Showdown, or watch anime.

I like computer science.

Love listening to rock music, playing league of legends, and building random science projects!

I think dinosaurs are cool.

I like to make bad jokes/puns! You might find yourself laughing at how poorly thought out they are!

This my 3rd year in PiE. I am passionate about robotics, self-driving cars, and tech and enjoy spending my time watching YouTube and playing basketball.

I like to code. During my free time, I like to cook, hike, and play badminton

Hi! I'm Rene and I'm a second year :) This is my first semester in PiE.

Latino and LGBTQ sophomore in UC Berkeley. Born and raised in SoCal. A majority of species are parasites; I happen to be one.

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.

I have been active with PiE for the past six years (competing three years for the Lawrenc Hall of Science and volunteering at competitions for three). I also had the honor of being a PiE Alumni Scholarship finalist. PiE kick started my passion for robotics, but I have always loved tinkering and building. I love to run, although I haven't found the time to since coming to Berkeley. My other interests include magic, origami, and speedcubing.

Hi, I'm Kevin, and I'm PiE Web PM. I was in Web and Dawn last year. Outside of PiE and academics, I like to spend time learning about God and growing in my faith; I'm part of Klesis Christian Fellowship, and with PiE, it's one of my most cherished communities I've harvested here at Berkeley.

My love for robots continues to grow exponentially as does my love for kiwis, cute animals, ironic humor, and memes

I believe that every mistake is a learning opportunity. That's why I code mainly in C++: I always end up learning something! I love computer science because I feel it gets at the heart of applying logic and mathematics toward real-world applications, possibly uncovering fundamental secrets about reality itself... and also because it lets me make video games. As for stuff beyond programming, I enjoy spending time with my family or playing with friends online. If anything, I want to be a good example to others—hopefully not in a "what not to do" kind of way.

If you like to watch people draw/watercolor/build buildings/dance come find me! We can bond over things I don't understand but would love to learn.

I'm really interested in algorithm development and solving interesting problems!

Hi! I'm Ashwarya, and I recently joined the Mech team for PiE. I became interested in robotics through my high school's Vex robotics team, in which I served as a programmer and mechanic. In my free time, I enjoy reading fiction and mystery novels, coding, solving logic puzzles, and answering Buzzfeed quizzes.

I've been part of my school's robotics club since middle school and I liked the coding aspect of it.

Hi my name's Aliya, and I'm from Fresno, CA. I'm into robotics, tennis, binge-watching TV shows, and eating to my heart's content.

I have a lot of nicknames. If you are interested in learning about some of them come join GDC/come talk to me whenever you want

I enjoy binge-watching Jeopardy and obnoxiously cheering on the US National Soccer Team. When I'm not internally dying, I like eating and sleeping.
