I love figuring out how things work behind the scenes and breaking stuff apart just to see what’s going on inside :)

Hi, my name is Emily Ngo and I'm a student at the University of Washington. I just finished my bachelor in computer engineering and am now studying masters in electrical and computer engineering to learn more about how hardware and software interact with each other, and understand what happens behind the scenes of both applications and electronics. I wanted to continue and get my masters so that I can continue my research and learn more about hardware. I also enjoy creating my own projects :)
I have always been fascinated by hardware and electronics. As a kid, I would spend hours taking apart electronics just to see how they worked. That curiosity grew into hands-on experience as I joined my robotics team's fabrication team throughout middle and high school, working on the electronics that created a working robot.
For my bachelors, I was directly admitted into the Computer Science and Engineering program to deepen my understanding of both hardware and software, learning what happens behind the screen and inside the circuits. My freshman year focused on building a strong foundation in programming, and by sophomore year, I began exploring hardware with research.
Junior year, I developed SproutSynch, an automatic plant watering system, with my peers and joined the UWROV underwater robotics team.
Senior year, I took classes that was a recommended or prereqs to apply to my masters. During this time, I learned how to use an oscillator, wavegenerator, circuit theory and basic circuitry. Also since I finished early, I started working on personal projects!
Outside of academics and work, I enjoy spending time at the gym, bouldering, being with friends and family, playing video games, watching shows, painting, and experimenting with side projects for fun!
