Summary

I am a dedicated Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) professional with a solid academic foundation and hands-on experience in FPGA design, digital systems, and AI chip development. After completing my high school education at Beijing No. 66 High School, I pursued a Bachelor's degree at North China University of Technology through an international training program and joined the University of Mississippi in 2020 as an exchange student. I consistently maintained high academic performance, earning a place on the Dean's Honor Roll, while becoming proficient in industry-standard tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Cadence, NI Multisim, and KiCad.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Mississippi, where I also serve as a Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant. My research focuses on Low Power AI Chip Design, integrating Echo State Networks with VLSI technology. Additionally, I have contributed to innovative research on Chaotic Systems applied to FPGA, with a published paper in this field. My expertise in digital circuit design, VHDL, and Verilog, along with my passion for advancing cutting-edge technologies, has prepared me to make meaningful contributions in both academic and professional engineering environments.

I am eager to continue my career in the ECE field, where I can apply my skills to develop innovative solutions that push the boundaries of technology. I am particularly interested in roles that involve low-power AI systems and VLSI design, and I look forward to collaborating with industry leaders to create impactful engineering solutions that benefit both the industry and society as a whole.
