Hello! I'm a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS).I serve as the Mechatronics Lead for the Aesthetic Bionics team within Bioprinting@Berkeley, where we're designing and building a bionic arm that replicates the natural movement of a human arm. Our goal is not only to achieve realistic functionality but also to incorporate aesthetic elements, ensuring the arm looks and even feels like a natural limb.Outside of academics, I’m passionate about tennis and have competed nationally. I played on a Zonals team that won first place two years in a row, claimed victory at a doubles sectionals tournament, and earned the top prize at Herb Cup. At UC Berkeley, I was one of over 100 women vying for a spot on the Cal Club Tennis team and was fortunate to secure one of the 10 spots. Now, as the team captain in my third year, I’m excited to give back by organizing engaging practices, hosting tournaments, and leading the team in competitions against other schools.This past summer, I interned as a Silicon Engineering Intern at Google, where I worked on integrating a third-party HBM PHY interface verification IP into the memory subsystem of a cutting-edge chip development project, optimizing the verification process of the DFI interface. This experience deepened my knowledge of memory systems and hardware verification.In my previous work experiences, I interned as a Software Engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where I developed a web application using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enforce compliance guidelines across lab-owned AWS accounts. I returned the following summer as a High-Performance Computing Cluster Engineering Intern, where I manually deployed a six-node HPC cluster and configured network interfaces to enable communication between nodes and the internet.
