About Me

Hey there! I’m Henry Huang, but you can call me Shenqiu if you’re feeling formal. I’m originally from Shanghai, China. YES!!! SHANGHAI!!! But now I’m calling Dallas, TX, working on my Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering at SMU. I’am also minoring in Music – Saxophone Performance because, why not blend tech with some tunes, right?

I’m big into cycling—I did a lot of racing back in high school. There’s something about the freedom of hitting the open road, breathing in the fresh air under the woods, that just feels right. I’m also a huge fan of all things mechanical, whether it’s bike gears, bearings, or car parts. Oh, I also fixed my friend's 1995 Miata ECU last summer! It's a fun story and I'm willing to share that with you. The craftsmanship and design that goes into these things fascinates me.

Besides tech and bikes, I’m all about music, with J-pop being my go-to jam. And being in Dallas, I’m still getting the hang of blending different cultures, which has been a cool part of my journey here in the States.

By the way, I'm also in the Mustang Band!!! This is the second year I'm in the marching band and I love the atmosphere of the games and rehersals.

So yeah, if you’re into tech, bikes, music, or just want to chat about the mix of cultures, hit me up. I’m always down to connect!

Experiences and Leadership

Project 1

Research Assistant - SMU Physics ATLAS

May 2024 - Aug 2024

I was responsible for designing an automated system to ensure instrument stability on the ATLAS Project, specifically connecting devices across different protocols and programming lab equipment to streamline data collection. I also handled the organization of testing fibers. Additionally, I collaborated with our team to enhance calibration processes and used modern technology to improve inventory management efficiency.

Project 2

Corresponding Chair - IEEE Student Branches

Jan 2024 - Present

Since January 2024, I've been promoting Electrical and Computer Engineering events at SMU through social media, increasing visibility and student engagement. Managing digital content has sharpened my communication and marketing skills, helping to create a more connected campus community.

Project 3

Digital Technology Leader - Mustang Marching Band

Aug 2023 - Present

Since August 2023, I’ve been mentoring students with no prior saxophone experience in the Mustang Marching Band, helping them grow musically. I’ve also introduced new digital technology initiatives, including designing custom-built accessories for band use, enhancing the overall band experience.

Individual Research

Analysis and Comparison of UART, SPI and I2C

In my recent research, I conducted an in-depth analysis and comparison of three fundamental communication protocols: UART, SPI, and I2C. This involved evaluating their performance characteristics, advantages, and limitations across various applications, culminating in a comprehensive research paper. The findings were presented and published at the 2023 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Big Data, and Algorithms (EEBDA).

Open-source Projects

Bike Computer Mount

3D modeling is a hobby of mine, and I like making both useful and random stuff to print. I really enjoy being part of the open-source community, and I've gotten a ton of help from lots of people. I built a 3D printer using open-source BOM and firmware, and also made some keyboards using open-source PCB files. I had them manufactured and soldered them myself. One of my projects was a custom bike computer mount that I designed in Fusion 360. I did some static simulation analysis to make sure it’s durable and functional, and you can find it on Thingiverse.

Small Research Papers

Here's some small research project I did in the past. Click the title to view the paper:
Echoes of Change: Mariya Takeuchi and the 1980s Japanese Pop Music Scene

The paper explores the evolution of the 1980s Japanese pop music scene, with a focus on socio-economic and cultural factors that influenced the rise of J-pop and City Pop. It highlights the artist Mariya Takeuchi and her iconic song Plastic Love, examining its impact on contemporary artists and internet culture.
