Thrilled to share that I’ve successfully defended my PhD dissertation and I will be joining MIT as an Assistant Professor starting Fall 2026, with a shared appointment between Sloan and EECS!
I will be recruiting 1-2 PhD students this upcoming cycle. Consider applying to MIT EECS!

The thing is, Chris Wright knows he's lying about this — he did course 2 and then an EECS masters at MIT.
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy.
I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

All the UCs are high quality schools that basically share curriculum. I was in Berkeley EECS lower div and Santa Cruz upper div and it was basically the same programs.

If I could drill Chesterton’s Fence into students, particularly Physics & EECS, it would help a great deal. Consider the possibility that the restriction you’re chafing against is because someone already was the dumbass you’re itching to be.

This exchange happens with EECS students a lot.
Me: Did you do all the code for this too?
Them: [proud] Yup!
Me: We'll need to validate all that AND its interactions with your safety controls.
Them: What?!?
Me: Connect something to the safety circuit and you have a safety check. Even software.

anyone who writes code and doesn’t appreciate repeated safety checks does not write good code

In conclusion, this means that as it’s a new school year I’m going to have to have a word with some Physics and EECS students to be a titch more responsible.
Or, at the very least, fuck around nowhere near campus and make sure no one tells me. This will be harder than they think.

At the bar in Oakland there was a recent EECS grad from Cal who said they're moving to Chicago in search of boring programming jobs lol.

They are not the absolute unit that rides the electric unicycle thingee with no governor at freeway speeds. They are also an EECS professor.

I was rather impressed with on EECS prof's approach who integrated LLM use into his course as an option. The team assignment was "Make code to do $THING. Your grade will be based on another team's experience reviewing & documenting it."
Teams who used LLMs had a very bad time. A teachable moment.

This paper is the result of >20 yrs of hard work by talented students, postdocs and collaborators, but none more than my co-author Ren Ng and his team in EECS.

Yeah or you take classes from a nice applied math department that teaches you matrix & spectral analysis even if you are in EECS.
Nice reference I didn't know about.
Forever grateful to Mark Embree who is one of the best lecturers I had.
