Hyokyung Shim

Summary

I am a motivated, adaptable, and responsible master's student specializing in renewable energy engineering and management at the University of Freiburg. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering earned during my bachelor's degree at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, I am well-equipped to excel in my current academic pursuits. My professional experience includes an internship at the prestigious Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), a renowned research center in the Republic of Korea. I take pride in my publication of a thesis on a nonlinear broadband piezoelectric energy harvester with a coupled beam array.

As a skilled multitasker, I possess a superior work ethic and excel in teamwork, where I leverage my problem-solving and organizational skills to achieve exceptional results. I am always willing to take on any task to support my team, and my colleagues can rely on my dedication, hard work, and resourcefulness. I approach challenges with a positive and collaborative mindset, making me a valuable asset to any team or project.
