You, our students, are the main thing. You are the heart of the program and what makes it such a special program and therefore, we decided to send a short questionnaire to all the students (both recent and alumni) to get to know you a little more

I really enjoyed Dr. Weinberger’s lecture that dealth with machine learning in an unknown communication channel. As a second year student, I have, so far, gathered mainly mathematical background and it is only towards the last semester that I have started feeling more connected to Electrical Engineering. The lecture was delivered so well that I managed to understand everything and connect to it.
