Why I became an engineer…

Two of my passions are applied mathematics and physics—and being an engineer gives me the chance to use both of them to discover optimized solutions for large-scale, highly complex, interactive systems.

What engineers can do to make a difference…

They should always stay attuned and well informed on a professional level throughout their careers, so that they can promote the latest technologies for the betterment of humanity.
