Mark Sui - About

About

I’m Mark Sui, an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) student at the University of California, San Diego, currently pursuing a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I already hold Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Engineering and Mathematics. My background bridges hardware, software, and applied mathematics, with interests in embedded systems, computer architecture, digital IC / VLSI design, and AI systems.
This site is both a personal homepage and a portfolio: I use it to keep my education, projects, experience, travel, photography, and other notes in one place.
