Professional Journey
I'm a computer engineer focused on creating meaningful hardware and software systems. I enjoy solving problems that sit at the intersection of logic, efficiency, and creativity... and I have a strong interest in
Experiences
Undergraduate Instructional Assistant
- Hosted biweekly office hours, supporting approximately 120 students on FPGA security labs and homework.
- Assisted with lab procedures, such as implementing a TRNG on the Altera Quartus Prime with Nios II scripting.
- Facilitated communication between students and professor, addressing concerns and ensuring smooth course delivery.
- Graded labs, homework, and exams, providing feedback to both course instructor and students.
EDA Workflow Engineer Intern
- Simulated PAM4 channel in MATLAB with FFE/DFE equalization, visualizing eye openings and ADC slicer offset.
- Reduced PLL simulation times by 400% on Synopsys CC through Verilog-A scripting and Simulink co-simulation.
- Migrated SerDes designs from Cadence Virtuoso to Synopsys CC, translating Tcl automation scripts to Perl.
- Facilitated meetings with Synopsys & Mathworks Application Engineers, discussing co-simulation potential.
Assistant Researcher
- Researching capabilities of capturing Mixed Reality(MR) headset sensor data.
- Deployed MRTK, Photon Unity Networking, and MS Azure Spatial Anchors to create a collaborative MR environment.
- Scripted a C# program to capture headset data and relevant metrics into a CSV file for further analysis.
- Explored methods that adversaries could identify users based off of sensor readings.
Cyber Security Engineer Intern
- Assessed bias in blackbox AI Fintech tools using Veritas Toolkit 2.0, gaining expertise in finance AI system metrics.
- Automated internal social engineering test with Python, saving 30% time compared to conventional manual method.
- Translated NIST Ai frameworks to Chinese, using Excel and PowerPoint to quantify and propose ideas.
- Assisted in app development for startup clients, familiarizing with Android Studio, Gradle, and Google Maps API.
Featured Projects
Efficient Dual ALU RISC-V Processor
Fullstack design and implementation of RISC-V processor with dual ALUs to optimize power consumption. Developing a dynamic datapath with the control unit, enabling switching between high/low-precision ALUs. Verifying design through extensive testbenches and SPICE simulation, ensuring compliance with RV32I ISA.
PulsePatch
Fabricating a portable ECG for real-time cardiac data acquisition with emphasis on channel noise reduction. Developed a CNN-based classifier trained on MIT-BIH dataset to detect arrhythmias from ECG signal windows. Prototyped LiPo battery power system, verifying current draw using oscilloscopes/multimeters for wearable ECG system.
