There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those.
-- Anonymous (The Beauty and Joy of Computing)

Who am I? (Hi-from-Dan Sound) (short biography, curriculum vitæ)

I'm a Teaching Professor in the Computer Science division of the EECS department at the University of California, Berkeley. I graduated with a Ph.D. from the same department in May 2000, where I worked with the OPTICAL project doing Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. On the personal side, I'm married to the beautiful and brilliant Tao Ye and have two wonderful kids.

Teaching

In the Fall of 2025, I'll be teaching CS10: the Beauty and Joy of Computing, and our sophomore-level computer architecture course CS61C: Great Ideas in Computer Architecture (formerly Machine Structures). We (co-PIs Emeritus Teaching Prof Brian Harvey and Prof Tiffany Barnes of NC State) have trained over 1,500+ high school teachers in the AP CS Principles version of the Beauty and Joy of Computing course using the awesome Snap! (Build Your Own Blocks) graphical programming environment and the Blown to Bits book.

Service

I'm deeply interested and active in computer science education, having presented at the SIGCSE annual conference every year since 2001, and was honored to be chosen as an ACM Distinguished Educator in 2012, ACM Distinguished Speaker 2019-2028, SIGCSE Vice-Chair 2019-2022, SIGCSE Secretary 2022-2025, and CRA-WP Board member 2023-2026. I was humbled to be chosen (with my friend Prof Tiffany Barnes) as the program co-chair for SIGCSE 2017 and symposium co-chair for SIGCSE 2018 in Baltimore, MD. I was co-guest-editor (with Moti Ben-Ari and Tom Murphy) of the TOCE journal Special Issue on Concurrent, Parallel and Distributed Computation, served on the GRE Computer Science Committee, and the Ensemble NSF project to create a website for computing educators. I recently served on the CRA Task Force on Teaching-Track Faculty, the ACM Education Council, the College Board's AP Computer Science: Principles development committee, TEALS Advisory Board, SRI's PACT Advisory Board, SMASH's Advisory Board, and CS PCK's Advisory Board. Locally, I have been the Faculty Supervisor for our 11 summer classes, charged with hiring and nurturing the best instructors to cover our summer courses. Finally, I was the higher education co-chair for CSforCA (CA advocacy for computer science) from 2019-2022, and I do everything I can to help our local CSTA chapter (CA-Golden Gate) thrive through monthly (ish) meetings I help facilitate on campus (and running CS4HS workshops in the summertime).

Active RAD (Research, Art & Development) Student Groups and Projects

I'm quite enthusiastic about the RAD (research, art & development) groups I advise. If you're interested in joining one of these groups (shown below), check their schedules for times and locations.
