Learning Assistants Spring 2025

Hi! I’m Yanhao Li, and you can also call me Josiah. I’m a sophomore and intend to major in CS and math. I enjoy coding and solving problems. I’m really excited to be the LA for ICP this semester and solve problems together with you! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us. Can’t wait to see you and help you do your best in ICP!

Hi everyone, I'm Nicholas Hook, a junior majoring in computer systems engineering and interested in quantum computing. ICP is where you learn the basics of programming, and I’m excited to share my experience and knowledge with you all. Please feel free to reach out or visit me whenever you have any questions or need some help. I’m also happy to talk about various science and technology-related topics. In my free time, I enjoy skateboarding, reading, and drawing. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! I'm Mohamed, a senior Computer Science student. I'm very passionate about teaching, and I can't wait to assist with ICDS this semester. I have a blend of software engineering, AI, and research experiences. My aim is to develop adaptive AI systems for end-users. Outside of the 0-1 world, I like working out, motorcycling, and traveling. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi! I'm Steven Zhang, a senior majoring in Computer Science and Data Science. My research focuses on the intersection of AI and medicine, with particular emphasis on medical image analysis and the processing of medical reports. Outside of academics, I’m passionate about swimming and tennis. I’m excited to be your LA this semester and look forward to supporting you throughout your learning journey!

Hi! I'm Jonathan, a sophomore student majoring in CS, and I'm going to be your data structure LA this semester. 
Since data structure is a course that is somewhat different from previous CS courses and since it covers a lot of different contents, being an LA allows me to assist my fellow students who might have some trouble in studying this course. Apart from finishing my courses, I'm also trying to find my research interest, which is quite important when trying to conduct researches or applying for PhD.
Outside of academics, I'm also interested in photography video games and football. Recently I enjoy playing Helldivers 2 and my favourite team is Barca.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need any help. I look forward to meeting you all this Semester!

Hi, my name is Patrick. I'm currently a senior majoring in Computer Science. I became an LA for Data Structures to strengthen my understanding of the course. Outside of academic work, I am a rapper and spend my free time honing my craft.

Hi everyone! I’m Yan, a senior majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. This semester, I’m excited to return as a Learning Assistant for Databases. Over the past two years, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting students at both NYU Shanghai and NYU Washington Square through the ARC. I’ve always enjoyed helping CS/DS students navigate complex concepts, sharing insights about academic paths, and learning alongside each other.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to stop by my office hours! I also plan to attend lectures and recitation sessions to help answer any questions you might have. Looking forward to working with you this semester!

Hi! My name is Yuanhe Guo, and I’m a senior majoring in Data Science. This semester, I’ll be the Learning Assistant for the Machine Learning course. My research focuses on multi-modal machine learning models, particularly at the intersection of images and music. I’m also passionate about sharing my research experience through beginner-friendly guides that are publicly available. If you have any questions, or are interested in AI-related topics, feel free to reach out! Machine Learning serves as a foundational course for exploring many exciting research areas, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Hello! My name is Vladimir, and I'm from Romania, majoring in Computer Science, Applied Math, and Arabic! I have a background in tutoring, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this semester will bring about. Aside from classes, I love listening to music, chilling with my friends, and sometimes playing video games.

Hi everyone! My name is Yijun Shen, and I’m excited to serve as a Learning Assistant for CENG-SHU 202 Computer Architecture this semester. I’m majoring in Computer Science with minors in Data Science and Math, and my academic interests focus on machine learning and natural language processing. I enjoy helping others understand complex topics, especially by connecting detailed concepts to a broader perspective, which I think is important for you to learn in this course. Outside of academics, I love playing various board games. Looking forward to working with you and supporting your learning journey!!!
