The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs has predicted that by 2050, over 68% of the global population will reside in cities. This massive projected urban population (6.5+ billion) will no doubt put a great deal of strain on infrastructure, resources and the world’s ecosystems, but, from an engineering standpoint, such large-scale urbanization also presents tremendous opportunities for technological, human as well as other societal and economic development.

Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) drives computation, energy, information, and communications technologies that are at the core of a vibrant, interconnected global economy. It is the innovation engine behind 5/6G wireless networks, robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), micro-displays for augmented/virtual reality, power systems for electric vehicles and data centers, and artificial intelligence running on integrated circuits fabricated on semiconductor chips, all of which have fundamentally impacted our society. By constantly adapting to an ever-changing world, electronic and computer engineers turn challenges into possibilities.

Hey there! I’m excited to share my journey with you. Growing up as a beach lover, I spent countless summer days swimming, yachting, and surfing. I loved the beach, but I always hated accidentally gulping down salty water! I wondered why seawater was salty and if it could be made tasty to drink. Little did I know, this curiosity would spark my passion for energy and environmental engineering.
