Stanford University | Electrical Engineering

Bryan M.

I have completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University with a concentration in Physical Technology and Science and a GPA of 3.607. I will be continuing my education at Stanford University through their Master’s Electrical Engineering program. Here are some of my grades: Introduction to EE: A, Circuits I: A, Circuits II: A, Introduction to Electromagnetics: A, Digital System Design: B+, Signals and Systems I: B+, Fundamentals of Analog Integrated Circuit Design: A-, and Power Electronics: B.

Some of my projects include building and designing an isolated AC-DC flyback converter that is capable of delivering 5 V at 500 mA to charge a cell phone from 20-40V RMS, a boost converter that raises 3 V to 5 V at 500 mA from two AA batteries, a FPGA music synthesizer with a waveform display that digitally generates real-time audio signals, a variable AC-DC converter capable of delivering 0-24 V DC output from a 120 V AC wall input, and a class D audio amplifier.

I have served as a teaching assistant for Stanford’s Introductory Electrical Engineering course for three years and counting. In this role, I regularly support students through office hours, lab sections, and one-on-one tutoring sessions for students who are struggling with the content. Much of my experience is with college students encountering technical material for the first time.

I believe intuition is built through repetition, so my teaching is strongly problem-based. I guide students through concrete problems step by step, then connect emerging patterns to underlying concepts so they see the structure behind the material. I adapt my pace and style to each student, asking them to explain their reasoning to uncover and address root misunderstandings. Students describe me as approachable, patient, and clear, and I focus on building confidence and critical thinking by encouraging independent problem-solving before stepping in.
