Background

About James Woo

I am a recently graduated student from Pomona College majoring in physics and minoring in mathematics. I have a strong interest in electronics and data science in addition to physics and math, and their applications to engineering embedded systems and hardware. At Pomona I have worked for the physics department as a mentor, lab teaching assistant, and grader for a variety of classes. I also play varsity football for the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens. Classes that I have taken give me experience with digital and analog electronics, physics including thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, experimental physics, and mechanics. I also have coursework in computer architecture and hardware, systems engineering, probability, differential equations and modeling, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus. In my past summers I have had a range of experiences from different internships. I have worked with semiconductors and integrated circuits at Efficient Power Conversion. I have also worked with data from brain tumors at UCSF and data from trucks at Kenworth Truck Company. I wrote scripts to sort, analyze, and filter this data using R, Python, and SQL.
