About me
Burak Orhan
Electrical & Electronics Engineer
I’m an electrical and electronics engineer interested in how hardware, computation, and physical systems fit together. My academic work spans embedded systems, analog electronics, power conversion, and RF/microwave analysis.
I’ve worked on hardware prototypes, MATLAB/Simulink models, and HFSS simulations, and coordinated a dual-axis solar tracking capstone. I’m looking toward graduate study connecting AI with semiconductor and microelectronic technologies, robotics, and cyber-physical systems.
What I’m curious about
AI & emerging technology
Learning models, new computing ideas, and the future technologies taking shape around them.
Electronics & intelligent systems
Circuits, devices, and the connections between the physical and digital worlds.
Chip design & manufacturing
How silicon is designed, made, and turned into the next generation of computing hardware.
