About Me

Hanbang Hua

I'm a hardware engineer at Nokia, developing RF linearization algorithms for next-generation wireless systems. My work spans the full stack — from algorithm design to hardware development. I've built multi-layer controlled-impedance PCBs, and written scripts in Rust and Python for wearable medical devices.

I hold a Master's in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's in Physics from UC Berkeley, where I spent two years as an undergraduate researcher at the Ultrafast Nano-Optics Group investigating 2D materials — graphene, hBN, and transition metal dichalcogenides. At Northwestern's Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics, I led development of a wireless NIRS health-sensing platform, cutting power consumption by 80% and reducing form factor by 50%.

Outside the lab, I'm a mountaineer with 20+ summits and have explored 19 national parks across the US. I believe the same mindset that gets you up a mountain — preparation, patience, and timing — applies directly to engineering.
