Engineering experience
Projects, at a glance
Selected work from my research years, spanning power circuits, embedded control, and hardware validation.
FluxFlow: 3D Magnetic Field Projection
Developed STM32 and FPGA firmware and control algorithms for real-time 6-DoF receiver tracking, working with SJTU’s hardware team and NTU’s validation team.
3D Magnetic Field Shaping
Analyzed and implemented 3D magnetic field shaping with a planar transmitting coil array, enabling omnidirectional wireless power transfer. This research formed the foundation for FluxFlow.
Portable Smart Cryotherapy
Led the development of a portable thermoelectric cooling system at NTU, combining thermal design, embedded control, and prototype testing. A consumer power bank supports more than 50 minutes of therapeutic cooling.
