We are delighted to introduce Tahmid Mahbub, who joins our research group at Cal after six years of invaluable industry experience at Apple. Tahmid’s journey from his undergraduate studies at Cornell University, where he was recognized as the Best Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, to his tenure at one of the world’s leading tech companies, underscores his passion for excellence and innovation.
Originating from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Tahmid’s early adventures in electronics, documented on his blog, reflect his innate curiosity and drive for exploration. Despite his demanding schedule, Tahmid finds joy in sports, particularly soccer (number 9), cricket, and tennis, as well as friendly competitions in games like Catan and FIFA.
Tahmid’s palate is as diverse as his interests, as he seeks out the best burrito spots in Berkeley and indulges in his love for Kacchi biryani. His affinity for the unconventional extends to his favorite getaway, Death Valley National Park, embodying his adventurous spirit and appreciation for the extraordinary.
As Tahmid embarks on this new chapter with us, we extend our warmest welcome and look forward to the exciting collaborations and discoveries that lie ahead. Please join us in welcoming Tahmid to our research family at Cal!
