Summary

Researcher and project designer with expertise in circuit design and communication within the EE department. Developed a high-frequency clock divider and advanced robotic movements utilizing Arduino technology. As I am deeply aware of the limitations of an individual, I actively promote teamwork and adaptability, while ensuring project success through collaborative efforts and diverse ideas.

Work History

Project Designer

EE department
Kaohsiung
02.2021 - 06.2024
  • Designed movements of a robot using Arduino.
  • Designed an automatic flower waterer using Arduino, with electronic components, and the skill of using 3D printing.
  • Designed a 4-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU) using Hspice, implementing key arithmetic and logic functions.
  • Designed lots of small projects by using Verilog and the workstation provided by TSRI (Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute). For example, design a 7-segment display controlled by UART, using FPGA.

Researcher

EE department
Kaohsiung
05.2023 - 10.2023
  • Collaborated with team members to design and implement research methodologies. We designed a high-frequency odd-number clock divider using Hspice. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between the width of the transistors, the delay, and the capacitance they induced, and applied this concept in practice.

Student Leadership- Chief Viola

Orchestra
Kaohsiung
06.2020 - 06.2024
  • Served as the chief viola player for the orchestra, not only leading performances each semester but also organizing training sessions for the viola members, and I adapted different plans for each of them. With the effort of all the members, the orchestra achieved an A+ score in the competitions of the last two years.

Student leadership- Team Leader

EE department
Kaohsiung
09.2021 - 06.2023

Leader of the table tennis team of the E.E. department.

Volunteer

Nuk
Kaohsiung
01.2021 - 06.2023
  • Organized community events to promote local outreach and volunteer participation, such as dancing, and designed little games for the children.
  • I volunteered to represent the EE department in the National Intercollegiate Athletic Game.
