Electrical engineer, drawn to systems that actually run.
I'm Joshua Rizzello — an electrical engineering graduate student focused on electric motor control and power systems, currently on exchange in China. I like building things end to end: from equations to working code to real hardware.
Who I am
I'm an MSc Electrical Engineering student with a focus on electric motor control and power electronics. I approach problems methodically — theory, simulation, and hands-on implementation — and I'm especially drawn to the intersection of control systems and real-world electrified transport. I'm currently based in Xi'an, China, building my technical and language foundations for a long-term career in the country's engineering industry.
