Hello! My name is Teresa and I was raised in Sacramento County. I graduated from UCLA in Fall 2020 with a B.S. in Applied Math and minor in Statistics; I am currently a Statistics Master’s student at UCSD. For the last two quarters, I was a TA for the capstone course (DSC 180A&B), and I also have a few years of experience as a Data Science Intern at Intel–I am looking forward to sharing how to apply the skills from DSC 10 to your future careers! In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, exploring the beaches & hiking trails in SD, baking/cooking new recipes, and reading fiction novels.

Sam Lau

he/him

Volunteer

lau@ucsd.edu

I’m Sam, a PhD student in Cog Sci. To study what students find tricky when writing data science code, I’m holding extra OH for DSC 10. I think of it as a win-win: I help with your assignments, and you can help me see what challenges you face in learning data science. I have 5 years of experience TA’ing for data science courses, instructed the Intro to Data Science course at UC Berkeley, and am writing a textbook on data science.

Hope to see you in office hours!
