Summary

Motivated and detail-oriented engineering student eager to join Flexible Electronics Integration team in VTT Summer of Changemakers, as a trainee. With a foundation in electronics design, embedded systems, and sensor technology from my studies at the University of Oulu, I am passionate about developing innovative solutions in wearable electronics. My hands-on experience in PCB design, circuit simulation, and microcontroller programming (Arduino, SystemVerilog) aligns with the team’s focus on sensor systems and heating elements. I’m excited to apply my skills in electrical measurements and signal processing, while learning and contributing to cutting-edge research in a collaborative environment.
