Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThelonious Cooper is an MIT-trained electrical engineer beginning a PhD in EECS at UC Berkeley, bringing eight years of hands-on experience across embedded systems, control, sensing, and photonics. He has built production-grade firmware and routing stacks at Cisco Meraki, developed fault-testing and large-scale Bayesian optimization pipelines for autonomous fixed-wing drones at MIT, and now designs integrated photonic devices and real-time sensor-fusion algorithms in Berkeley’s Intelligent and Quantum Photonics Group. Comfortable across hardware and software, he pairs rigorous mathematical modeling with practical RTOS and PyTorch implementations to close the loop between theory and deployed systems. An artist and “Yap enthusiast” in his spare time, he favors code that’s “as simple as possible and no simpler,” and has a track record of translating novel research ideas—like synthetic human-vision simulacra and closed-loop EEG interfaces—into working prototypes.
