John's Personal Portfolio

About Me

I'm John Hu, an engineering student with interests in mechatronics, power electronics, and analog circuit design. I studied Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke University, where I currently work as a Research assistant at a physics lab. I also act as the club president for Duke Hyperloop, where I lead, organize, and work with a team of students to make a concept Hyperloop system.
