About Your Instructor
Kai Sun

PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Masters degree in Physics from Iowa State University.

MBA from Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley; yes, I have enjoyed learning.

Worked in the high-tech industry for over 20 years in engineering, program management and product management, in start-ups and large companies in Silicon Valley - for instance, as a senior program manager at Microsoft. I know firsthand the importance of education and self-learning skills for future employees in the global economy.

Married to my wife Helen for over 30 years. She teaches computer science classes at Mission College in Santa Clara. I have three kids: Daniel has graduated from UCLA and works at Apple busy making your new phones; Emily has graduated from UC Berkeley with bachelor degree and UC Santa Barbara with master degree, and is now at 10x Genomics working on DNA technologies and products; Tyler has received master degree in Computer Engineering at UC Davis. He works at the semiconductor company Tenstorrent, making chips probably not tastier, possibly cruncher, but surely faster.
