Hi!

Welcome to the profile of Daman YANG.

I am currently a second-year undergrad student in South China University of Technology (華南理工大學 SCUT), majoring in Robotics Engineering at Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering and minoring in Law. Currently I am having academic courses (English-Medium-Instruction) and doing research and development in Prof. Shaofeng LU’s research program on Smart Transport Lighting. My research interests lie in the domain of embedded systems, communications, distributed computing, and IoT. I am expecting more research opportunities!

Beyond my research pursuits, I am also taking full charge of a tech start-up, serving CITATEK Co., Ltd. as the CEO, founder, and engineer. We mainly focus on AIoT Smart Hardware and our first product is now at the stage of EVT (Engineering Verification Test). We warmly welcome investors and founders to get in touch with us!

I regard myself as an engineer-like and PM-like Product Engineer, attentive to all aspects of a thing/product – from marketing, business and SCM to R&D and delivery etc. – not just the technology.

Look forward to any opportunities or communications about research and start-up. Please feel free to reach out to me and engage in discussions on any topic.
