Hyeok-Jun Ahn

University of Waterloo
M.A.Sc. Candidate in Electrical Engineering

Personal Skills / About Me

  • Excellent professional team member
  • Actively and independently seek extra sources to determine/implement optimal solutions
  • Enjoy studying new tools and methodologies, which broaden skill sets leading to better solutions
  • Past experiences include software development, hardware development and some research activities
  • Like getting the job done
These days, I am adapting to research life and learning to enjoy the new life style. Also, the objectives for M.A.Sc. is becoming more clear over time which is very motivating. I particularly enjoy the freedom to discover or design problems on my own and investigate such problems independently. I found that the knowledge gained during this process builds up nicely and stays in my brain effectively.

Interests and Other Activities

I enjoy working on all kinds of intellectually challenging problems. Recently, I enjoyed finishing the modules of TIS-100, which is an assembly programming game/emulator with limited memory and limited instruction sets. Several months ago, I worked on problems listed on Project Euler. I wish to continue before completing M.A.Sc.
I also like reading books related to electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, and data science. During M.A.Sc., I plan on reading texts related to mathematics, data science, data modelling, and machine learning. Other things I do are music or vocal recording using some equipment I have, and training MMA (Boxing these days). Few years ago, I established mini electronics lab and I had fun time experimenting few things here and there.

Although replaced with electrical equipment now, I used to have a small recording space:
