Design Engineer Project

Yuan Wang

After being awarded the PhD degree in visualization, I stepped into the

graphics industry. In the recent two years, my teams and I have delivered a

series of high-quality and feature-rich software releases with advanced GPU

hardware design to our customers.

I am extremely motivated and focused, with great passion for the next

generation technology. With my proactive attitude and analytical

innovation, I will make a significant contribution.
