Clara Hung
Clara Hung (’25, Computer Science & Physics) is interested in combining optics and machine learning algorithms to engineer next-generation computational cameras. As an undergraduate researcher at UC Berkeley’s Computational Imaging Lab, she is developing a dataset acquisition system for lensless imagers to enable budding research at the intersection of imaging, machine learning, and information theory. Fascinated by how images tell human stories and push scientific discoveries, she wants to continue developing computational imaging systems that allow us to see more with less. She aims to pursue a PhD and, in […]
Cooper Jacobus
Cooper Jacobus (’25, Astrophysics and Logic) is passionate about Computational Physics and fascinated with Cosmology and Machine Intelligence. He currently works toward solving problems in Cosmology using Machine Learning methods at UC Berkeley’s Department of Astronomy and Berkeley Lab’s Computational Cosmology Center. His research uses supercomputers to simulate the birth and history of the Cosmos to learn about the nature of gravity and dark matter. He hopes his work will inspire a new generation of scientists and shed light on the grandest mysteries of the universe. Outside of research, Cooper greatly enjoys […]
