Experience

I have been building my materials engineering work around wearable products, product stability, coating systems, and the discipline of making decisions under real constraints.

Snapshot

Materials engineering in wearable products.

My recent path has been shaped by a practical question: how do small material decisions become visible in the final product? That question has pulled my work toward stability, characterization, coating systems, and the details users can actually feel.

Materials Engineer

Shokz / Permanent / Hong Kong SAR / On-site

In my current role, I work on wearable materials, product stability, and materials development. What I enjoy most is the point where material behavior, implementation reality, and product experience all have to agree.

I delivered a 43% reduction in overall coating expenses.
I frame coating and material questions around what the product actually needs to survive.
I translate material behavior into trade-offs that cross-functional partners can act on.

Wearable Devices Materials Engineer Intern

Shokz / Internship / Hong Kong SAR / On-site

My internship was where materials work stopped being abstract. I moved from classroom knowledge into material handling, characterization, and the everyday pace of engineering decisions inside a wearable product team.

I handled materials closely enough to notice how small differences show up in use.
I used characterization to support product stability questions.
I learned the pace and language of day-to-day engineering decisions.

Education

Physics and material science foundation.

Sep 2023 — Jul 2024

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Master of Science, Physics

My MSc in Physics sharpened how I frame uncertainty, trade-offs, and evidence. Guided study on thermodynamic fundamentals made me more disciplined about asking what is measurable, what is assumed, and what actually matters for the decision at hand.

Sep 2019 — Jul 2023

Jinan University

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Material Physics

My undergraduate training in Material Physics gave me the foundation that still underpins how I read material behavior and think about engineering trade-offs.
