I'm a first-gen Vietnamese American studying electrical engineering with a focus on electromagnetics, RF systems, and the effects of radiation on electronic devices. I’m particularly interested in space and aerospace applications. Beyond the technical work, I’m committed to supporting diversity in engineering and helping create a more inclusive space for people from underrepresented backgrounds.
