Meet Ryan Chen!

(IMPORTANT: Disclaimer about 3rd and 4th photos at bottom)

Ryan is a third year, electrical engineering major from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ryan joined the team two years ago as a part of the DAQ team and has since moved his way up to become our electrical lead. Outside of GTOR, Ryan is a part of the Medical Robotics Club, he does research at the Dynamic Controls and System Lab, and he has also interned at Honda R&D.

What do you like most about being a part of GTOR?

"I like being able to develop cool electronics to help improve the car, as well as the vibes when working alongside other GTOR members."

Fun fact: Ryan thinks raw black pepper is spicy.

DISCLAIMER: The 3rd and 4th photos are part of a joke. The 4th photo is a meme in the electrical engineering community. It's a stock photo (taken seriously we're pretty sure) where the woman is holding the soldering iron completely incorrectly. The part she's holding is extremely hot and will burn you if it's turned on. Ryan wanted to make fun of this in his spotlight post, so we staged a photo for it. The iron is off (obviously) in the 3rd photo. Please never hold a soldering iron that way. Stay safe!
