IEOR 190G

As I previously mentioned I co-founded a company in a different CET class, IEOR 190E.  The company my team and I created is an information technology company that deals with remote automation, control, and data collection for rural water systems.  We currently have a prototype and I will be drawing up the patent in the coming weeks.  I have recently spoken with many patent and copyright lawyers but in order to write the patent this class is crucial.  From the research I have done, and the description of the course during the first class, IEOR 190G and Dr. Lavian are going to be an important part to finalizing the patent.  I highly value every class offered through CET and genuinely enjoy the program.  In 190G I hope to be able to better understand the technical side of patents as well as how to carefully construct them from an engineers prospective.

About me

My name is Cory Levy and I am fourth year Political Economy major at UC Berkeley with a concentration in Society, Technology, and the Economy.  I am from Los Angeles and was hesitant at first to go to school in the bay area but after moving here I quickly grew to love it.  I have a passion for information technology and how our society reacts to the constant change and innovation, which is why I designed my concentration.  I love all the major sports and am an avid Dodgers, Packers, and Lakers fan.  I have always been enthusiastic about helping children with special needs and I used to direct a basketball league for mentally and physically handicapped children. Currently I am the president and founder of the Bowling Club of Berkeley and try to bowl at least once a week.  Last semester I co-founded a company called Flowbit.  Flowbit started in a CET class and has grown to become a full time commitment.
