Meet Augustine Cho

A Passion for Engineering and Design

Hi, my name is Augustine Cho, and I am a freshman studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, passionate about semiconductor physics and circuit design. My journey began in the medical field, interning at various notable companies like Merck, Jefferson Health, and the PA Biotechnology Center. There, I’ve accumulated a plethora of experiences through my research on cytokine release syndrome and developing alternative vaccines to COVID-19. Since then, I have decided to use the skills I learned and apply them to the wonderful world of Electrical Engineering, where I hope to make an impact on the world on a grander scale. I am currently involved in undergraduate research with Dr.Hong Koo Kim studying plasmonic phenomena, developing motor controls and circuits for an autonomous boat with Pitt Electric Propulsion, and self-studying various software like SOLIDWORKS 3D, Altium Designer, and Ansys Lumerical FDTD. Outside of school and academics, I am an avid basketball player and act as a scout team player for the University of Pittsburgh varsity basketball team, alongside my continuous involvement with producing music and practicing my faith. Take a look at my portfolio, and feel free to reach out!
