compilation and to develop project milestones. Work with team members to evenly divide up the tasks, enforce deadlines, and review

completed works.

ThermOXO Conceptual Design, UCLA April-June 2014

•A team of 6 engineers from different engineering backgrounds to develop a product: an improved, smart kitchen thermometer that would

communicate with a smart phone through a mobile app to simulate a real-life conceptual review design project.

•Developed preliminary market and financial analysis to prove the product is financially feasible. The conceptual design review and

recommendation to presented to the class through an oral presentation and a written report.

Semiconductor Devices Fabrication Laboratory, UCLA Jan-March 2014

•Fabricate, characterize, and test p-type semiconductor silicon devices including MOS capacitors, NMOSFETs, and bipolar junction

transistors
