Electrical engineering & robotics

Ideas take shape
when we build together.

I’m Chen-Shi, a student at the University of Michigan. I enjoy learning, collaborating, and helping bring a team’s ideas to life.

A little about me

From an idea
to something real.

I’m Chen-Shi Liou, an electrical engineering student in the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering. Through MRacing and MRover, I contribute to embedded electronics and power distribution through PCB design, assembly, and testing. I’m also independently designing a robotic-arm carrier PCB, bringing power and control connections together to support automated 3D-printing tasks.

I take a hands-on approach to engineering, from design and manufacturing to troubleshooting and system testing. I take ownership of my work and actively explore new tools and techniques to deepen my understanding. Coordinating team projects has also strengthened how I organize tasks and communicate progress. What I enjoy most is seeing an idea become something we can build, test, and improve.

Something in mind?
I’d love to hear it.

I’m always looking for new conversations, ideas, and opportunities to learn and build together.
