Work Experience & Internships

Supported research in power electronics, laboratory automation, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Work spanned hardware design, software development, and experimental validation to improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of high-power converter research.

As part of a university capstone project in collaboration with SCREEN Holdings, I worked in a multidisciplinary team to design and develop an automated gel dispensing system for cell culture applications. The project aimed to improve the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of gel dispensing while minimizing air bubbles that could affect cell culture quality. Inspired by the motion control mechanism of 3D printers, we designed a precision dispensing platform capable of accurately dispensing gel into well plates.

As part of a university-industry collaboration with Techfirm, I contributed to the development of a digital human prototype designed for recruitment services. The project combined AI technologies, facial animation, and web development to create an interactive virtual assistant capable of answering company- and recruitment-related questions. As a member of the front-end team, I was responsible for designing and implementing the user interface while integrating AI avatar technologies into the web application.

During my internship at Nidec Corporation, I gained practical experience in the design, manufacturing, and testing of electric motors used in industrial and consumer applications. I worked closely with engineers to understand the development and production processes of various motor technologies, strengthening both my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills.

As part of a collaborative project with my professor and fellow students, I contributed to the development of a Fundamental Mechanics textbook for undergraduate engineering students. My role included reviewing technical content, improving explanations, and assisting with the preparation of educational materials.

Worked in a fast-paced Japanese ramen restaurant, providing excellent customer service while gaining hands-on experience with Japanese workplace culture, hospitality (omotenashi), and professional communication. The role also strengthened my daily Japanese language skills through constant interaction with customers and colleagues.
