EDUCATION BACKGROUND

1995 - Present Nanyang Technological University

Pursuing B. A, Electrical Engineering.

1992 - Anderson Junior College

Successfully completed GCE 'A' Level.

1990 - Tanglin Technical Secondary School

Successfully completed GCE 'O' Level with five distinctions.


EXPERIENCES IN ENGINEERING PROJECTS

1998 Final Year Project

Development and fabrication of a 3 stage down-conversion Digital Beamforming Receiver. This receiver is actually made up of 4 superhetedyne receivers, each connected to an antenna forming a 4 antenna/receiver array. The output of these receivers connects to ADCs .All analogue signal will be converted to digital domain for digital beamforming. RF input to the receiver is at 1.25GHz. Output to ADC is 1.6Mhz. MDS tools are used in the RF design. The PCB is drawn using Protel EDA 3.4.
1998 Adaptec Manufacturing Singapore Pte. Ltd. (IA)
Attached to the Adaptec Development Centre.

Develop a PCI configuration diagnostic utility that allows users to analyse and manipulate the configurations registers of any PCI devices in a system.

Develop a "Verilog hybrid" kind of an Interpreter Language with command syntax based on the simple QBASIC commands. Objective of the software is to assist debugging engineers in performing IC failure diagnosis.

Microsoft Visual C 1.5 development platform is used to develop the DOS based software stated above.

1996 Nanyang Technological University (IHPT)

Reconstruct a wireless communication system based on infrared technology.

The transmitter was a handheld unit with Intel's 8051 microcontroller. The receiver is connected to PC via the RS232 communication port. Visual Basic 4 is used to produce the GUI.
