As a student @ UC San Diego with the ability to take a few courses at Irvine, are there any specific courses or prof. you recommend looking into?

I'm no longer a student there, but Shannon Alfaro was great at anything parser/language design related, and Gopi Meenakshisundaram was great for graphics. Eric Mjolsness is probably brilliant but everything I took from him was very dense.
