Hey, I'm Matthew Yu, an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. My focus is on embedded systems, but I like to take detours and have worked with everything from web development to generative art.
I was a software intern at Cisco (Summer 2019), Qualcomm (Summer 2020, 2021), and Relativity Space (Fall 2020). I'm currently interning at Apple for Summer 2022 as a hardware intern. I've also TA'd for my embedded systems lab course under Professors Mark McDermott and Jonathan Valvano in Fall 2021 and Spring 2022, and will do so again for Fall 2022.
I have been and still am a passionate and active member in several UT organizations, including:
- Longhorn Racing Solar
- Texas Rocket Engineering Lab
- IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
I'm currently working towards graduating with a Master's degree in embedded systems in Fall 2023, but am also looking for great opportunities to be close to hardware, building tangible, sustainable, and helpful devices and experiences for other humans.
Here's a (not very short) shortlist of my current interests:
- EMI inspection and reduction using RF arrays
- Electroadhesion-based robotic movement
- Hardware DfT and DfM best practices
- DC-DC converter characterization
- MPPT algorithms and solar array simulation
Feel free to contact me on linkedin if any of these topics interest you, or if you just want to learn more about me!
