{"id":2171,"name":"Asratun Sarmin Anjum","url":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/asratun-anjum\/","description":"I am a first-generation student from Bangladesh and an engineering graduate from Western Carolina University (WCU), where I earned dual degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology and Interdisciplinary Physics, graduating Summa Cum Laude in May 2026. I am currently pursuing my Master\u2019s in Engineering at WCU, where I am working as a course assistant and pursuing my thesis.\r\n \r\nMy academic and professional experiences have allowed me to explore the intersection of electrical engineering, systems engineering, physics, data analysis, and emerging technologies. In Summer 2025, I worked as a Front-End Engineer Intern at Eaton Corporation, supporting data analysis, system design, AI training, and cross-functional engineering initiatives to improve technical workflows.\r\n \r\nAt WCU, I have been involved in hands-on engineering and research projects, including:\r\n \r\nDrone gimbal tracking system \u2014 Capstone project in collaboration with AvL Technologies\r\nCubeSat cosmic radiation detector\r\nWireless posture-monitoring smart lamp\r\nHydrokinetic energy research project\r\n \r\nI have also worked as a Math & Physics Tutor and IT Commons Technician, experiences that strengthened my ability to communicate complex technical concepts, troubleshoot problems, support others, and collaborate effectively in team-based environments.\r\n \r\nAs a first-generation international student, I value continuous learning, resilience, and creating opportunities through engineering and education. Outside of academics and professional work, I enjoy staying active and have been exploring ways to grow my involvement in pickleball and table tennis.","link":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/aanjum1\/author\/aanjum1catamount-wcu-edu\/","slug":"aanjum1catamount-wcu-edu","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/56adac8ba6ee11f7ae4a98012e8dbf172c1912697dea46bad0b1894e6816d0e7?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/56adac8ba6ee11f7ae4a98012e8dbf172c1912697dea46bad0b1894e6816d0e7?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/56adac8ba6ee11f7ae4a98012e8dbf172c1912697dea46bad0b1894e6816d0e7?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":{"show_sr_text_in_editor":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/aanjum1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/aanjum1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
