Akhil Venkatesh
Hey everyone! I’m a junior double majoring in Data Science and Economics. Can’t live without two things: pizza and Gordon Ramsay. I enjoy playing chess, tennis, and cooking in my spare time! Professionally, my interests lie at the intersection of technology and finance - be it machine learning, behavioral economics, or entrepreneurship. Always ready to help you succeed and looking forward to getting to know you all through office hours! (P.S, if you didn’t already know, this is my favorite class at Berkeley)
Bennett Somerville
I’m a rising third-year undergraduate student majoring in computer science, and I’m interested in applying data science to lots of areas of study, such as public policy, urban planning, and of course, economics. Outside of academics, I enjoy cycling, repairing bikes, playing music, and learning languages, among other things. Feel free to reach out!
