Research Journey

Learning engineering through real systems.

Research and internship experiences have helped me connect classroom Physics with electronics, embedded systems, and practical engineering.

Nov 2025 – May 2026

Electronics & Embedded Systems Research Internship

University of Transport and Communications · Hanoi

Programmable vehicle testing during research internship

I explored the basic principles of electronic circuits and observed how hardware, sensors, control components, and software work together in a programmable vehicle system.

I also assisted university students during system testing and trial runs, helping observe vehicle behavior and identify issues that appeared during operation.

Electronic CircuitsEmbedded SystemsTestingSystem IntegrationProblem Solving

What I learned

Engineering is an iterative process: understand the system, test it, observe what happens, identify problems, and improve the next version. This experience also helped me see how concepts from Physics can become part of a functioning electronic system.

Hanoi MCU–FPGA Design Competition 2026

Documentation & Testing Support · Team MK2T, University of Transport and Communications

Hanoi MCU-FPGA Design Competition 2026

As a supporting member of Team MK2T, I helped prepare technical documentation and assisted with system testing during the team's preparation for the Hanoi MCU–FPGA Design Competition 2026.

The experience introduced me to collaborative engineering development and strengthened my understanding of documentation, testing, and iterative problem-solving in MCU–FPGA systems.
