Hi, I am Marina and I am originally from Russia (not France!). I moved to Chicago to continue my education and I earned my PhD in Computer Science from UIC. Then I worked at Yeshiva University, NYC and then moved to San Diego. I was a member of CS department at first but moved to Data Science and I am loving it! I am excited to be your instructor for this quarter and you are welcome to stop by just to chat :)

Hi, I’m Anastasiya! I am a fourth year studying Data Science and Neuroscience. I’m really excited to tutor DSC 20 for the eighth time (yayy!) because this class, although challenging, taught me a lot and I’ve been able to use the skills from this class on outside projects. Outside of class you will probably see me in the dancing, behind the pottery wheel, reading or sight-seeing. Come to office hours, you won’t regret it!
