- Modelled public housing buildings in Singapore and thermal comfort under realistic conditions using EnergyPlus - Identified the design factors influencing the load of air-conditioning - Evaluated the sensitivity of the energy consumption of buildings to different designs - Success: reproducible and adaptable model, user-friendly handbook for EnergyPlus

- Evaluated the re-dispatching power capacity using simulation programs, based on load and power generation prediction as well as network development plans - Voluntarily developed tools to optimize data processing by means of VBA-programming / Excel - Success: Up to 300% process acceleration

My high grades and motivation allowed me to get a position as a tutor for the course "electrical power engineering" for second-year students. I had two tutoring sessions weekly, which I managed to design perfectly despite the short time. My students and two professional supervisors expressed their satisfaction and their compliments about my performance.

Thanks to my high grades and tutoring experience, I had the chance to be a tutor for the course "signal displaying" for second-year students. Along with other tutors, I had to be prepared for the weekly tutoring session, by alternating summaries, exercises and examples in an interactive and didactic way to satisfy the needs of the students and to ensure optimal communication and learning environments.

As a tutor for the module "circuit theory 1 & 2" for freshman students, I built a team with another colleague, prepared our own exercises and summaries, and participated in correcting homework-sheets. I designed my weekly meeting in an interactive way to satisfy the needs of the students and to ensure optimal communication and learning environments.

As a full time intern, I optimized several simulation tools needed along the process of the energetic conception of buildings. My main project was the development of a "grass model" to apprehend the real impact of plants on the micro-climate of buildings.

- Phase 1: seminars about soft skills (communication and learning methods, teamwork) - Phase 2: Teamwork on the project "Mini-Segway". With a limited budget (500€), we conceived our robot, ordered the necessary components and assembled them, then tackled the programming of the microprocessor and optimized the system after several tests.

Various tasks during the internship, covering the basics of electrical engineering.

Participated in the industrial chain by packaging and controlling car sets that will be exported afterwards to the assembling units in other countries.
