About Me.

What is wonderful about engineering is that new technical innovations and discoveries can enable the mankind to have a little easier life. As an engineering student myself, I have been always enthusiastic about applying the expertise and knowledge from class setting in real life situations, for the purpose of resolving issues in industry setting and also bringing convenience to our daily lives. The pursuit of academics is life-long learning process; there remains new areas awaiting for discoveries and I would be more than happy to continue to do so in the life journey.
