Architecting High-Performance Electronics Systems
My journey began with Project STUDSAT-2, designing aerospace-grade power systems. This foundation in reliability now drives my work in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where I architect complex, multi-layer high-speed systems
After refining my expertise through a Master’s at National Tsing Hua University, I have spent the last several years embedded in the heart of Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem. I specialize in translating complex, theoretical system requirements into manufacturable, high-reliability hardware. My work focuses on the intersection of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI), ensuring that even the most dense designs operate with surgical precision
Bridging the Gap Between Research and Physical Reality
Through PCByantra Labs, I focus on the ‘physics-first’ approach to hardware—ensuring that every trace and component is optimized for signal integrity and long-term system stability
Hardware is where physics meets the real world. I believe in a simulation-driven design process—tackling EMI/EMC challenges and thermal constraints before the first board is ever fabricated. My goal with every project is to reduce costly re-spin cycles and deliver ‘first-pass’ success. Through PCByantra Labs, I provide the high-level architectural oversight needed to turn ambitious research into stable, physical platforms.
