About me
Pleased to meet you! My name is Nhan and I am based in Melbourne. In 2026, I am a fourth/penultimate year student at Monash University, studying a Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering and a Bachelor of Information Technology in Cybersecurity.
At university, I am a committee member of the Society of Monash Electrical Engineers and play violin in the Monash Philharmonic Orchestra.
Outside university, I am in the Young Institute of Transportation Engineers ANZ, and have been part of the Victorian Youth Parliament's Whitehorse City Council team and the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner's Youth Advisory Group.
My interests span technology, competitive programming, music, education policy, politics, electoral systems, transport and more.
My current projects include looking at electoral system reform and mapping transit in real time.
I spent the past year building the first Australian student locomotive with Monash Railway Express to compete at the IMechE Railway Challenge, achieving 4th in the world in the 2026 edition including strong results in the following challenges:
🥇 Reliability Challenge
🥇 Design Challenge
🥇 Aesthetic and Technical Poster Challenge
