Bio
David Hoffman
Zihao worked in my group at Cypress and I had the opportunity to work closely with him on several projects over an extended period. I also directly managed him for a time. Zihao is a bright young engineer who is constantly hungry to learn more. I saw him grow from an NCG fresh out of college into a very capable engineer able to lead projects and solve a wide variety of problems. One of the things I find striking about Zihao is that the rate of his learning and growth has been accelerating the entire time I've known him. This is a rare trait and bodes extremely well for his future. It's been a pleasure working with you Zihao!
Brett Shook
Zihao was my research partner while working on a software tool used to automate the design of power electronics modules. He worked diligently and thoughtfully to help bring about the first prototype of this software with me. Zihao is always willing to work his hardest and help others to achieve their goals. I would welcome Zihao to work with me any day.
