From a sensor trace to a robot in motion, I like engineering problems where careful measurement meets decisive making.
Experience
Research, hardware, and systems that leave the bench.
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow
Birck Nanotechnology Center · Purdue University
Building repeatable measurement systems for electronic component analysis, spanning optical spectroscopy, laser profilometry, and Python-based statistical pipelines.
Current signal
Standardized UV-Vis-NIR and laser-profilometry workflows across 30 ESP32-based development boards from five suppliers, with Python pipelines for supplier-level comparison.
Engineering Intern
Serelix Robotics
Designed a tunable 3D-printed foot interface and a nine-channel pressure-sensing PCB for a post-stroke rehabilitation exoskeleton.
Current signal
Created a parametric TPU foot interface with region-specific lattice geometry and a nine-channel ADS124S08 pressure-sensing PCB.
UROP Researcher
Taipei Tech × MIT City Science Lab
Built a wheeled-bipedal robot that could dock into a quadruped, then developed its kinematics, control simulations, and power/CAN distribution board.
Current signal
Implemented inverse kinematics and simulated LQR and MPC strategies in MuJoCo, then designed the two-layer power and CAN-bus distribution PCB.
Electronics Team Member
Purdue Formula SAE
Developing electronic throttle-body control logic and validation procedures for a MoTeC M150 ECU, plus wiring harnesses for a custom Yamaha R6 engine-dynamometer setup.
Current signal
Working on throttle-body control logic, validation procedures, and documented engine-dynamometer wiring around a MoTeC M150 and Yamaha R6.
