Mark Sui

Academic Arc

Engineering depth, mathematical range, and international study.

My education sits at the intersection of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Mathematics. At UC San Diego, my master's work centers on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), while the broader path includes rigorous systems coursework, applied math training, study abroad, and early leadership experience.

M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate focus in Very Large Scale Integration, digital IC design, and architecture.
Dual Bachelor of Science Degrees Computer Engineering and Mathematics, built as an interdisciplinary technical base.
International + Leadership Range NUS study abroad, multi-campus summer coursework, and Chinese Association Club Vice President.
