SUMAN TRIPATHY

I'm a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with specialized courses in Cognitive Science also.

About Me

I was born and raised in Nor Cal and even decided to stay here for college. After I get my degree, I hope to explore the health tech industry.

Outside of school, I love making song mashups, playing volleyball, and rewatching episodes of The Office while drinking coffee. Art, nature, and music intrigue me because I consider them the most essential sources to my humanity.

I FOLLOW MY PASSIONS

By majoring in EECS with a special focus on Cognitive Science, I hope to gain both the technical and rational skills needed to study Machine Learning, Data Science, and Brain-Machine Interfaces.

I'm awed by technology today but fear that one day, it may in fact destroy humanity. Therefore, I wanted to study the interconnection and dependency between the technology and the brain to create a protected but powerful relationship.

As a junior, I'm diving deeper into my interests through specialized classes like "Introduction to Machine Learning" and "Introduction to Data Science."

A LOOK INTO MY LIFE

Here are a few of my passions and hobbies!

Singing

I learned Indian classical music for 10 years and was a manager of Berkeley Dil Se, a South Asian fusion a capella team.

Food

I'm a huge foodie and often am the "trashcan" when I go out to restaurants with people. I'm vegetarian by choice for environmental and animal protection rights!

Bhangra

My brother and I have always danced together, so in high school and college, I continued our tradition of this energetic Punjabi dance by joining the Bhangra team.

Nature

Nature is my most sacred friend because whether I feel upset or excited, taking walks, admiring plants, and watching animals comfort me best.

MY FAVORITE QUOTE

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."

- Theodore Roosevelt
