JACOB POSNER, UCB, study EECS/Math, play music and solve cubes

Major: EECS

College/Employer: UC Berkeley

Year of Graduation: 2019

Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm a freshman at UC Berkeley, with a major in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science (leaning towards CS) and a minor in Math.

In my spare time I solve twisty puzzles(2x2 through 7x7 Rubik's Cubes, Square-1, Skewb, and others), play the piano, and go skiing on the weekends!

I often solve 3x3s in less than 17 seconds, and I recently learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, so I'm working on improving my success rate.

I'm also in the rocketry club (CalSTAR), so that's cool.
