Andrea Lau

Engineering graduate with a strong foundation in infrastructure planning, user-focused design and systems thinking. Experienced in supporting facility upgrades, prototyping public-use structures and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. Demonstrates a keen interest in applying engineering solutions to enhance operational environments, safety and resilience. Open to exploring adjacent domains such as systems integration and environmental safety in support of national defence.

Disaster Response Simulation System
Designed and built a working prototype using Arduino and sensors to simulate emergency alerts for natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

• Integrated temperature, water level and vibration sensors into a physical mock-up of a cityscape
• Triggered warning systems in real time to demonstrate how sensor-based monitoring can support faster response and risk awareness
• Highlighted the potential for embedded systems in safety-critical infrastructure

Sustainable Bus Stop Prototype
Developed a user-focused public transport shelter prototype incorporating sustainable materials and ergonomic design principles.

• Addressed usability and maintenance concerns through material selection and spatial layout
• Showcased the role of design in enhancing safety and comfort in everyday infrastructure

Mobile App Interface (UI/UX)
Designed a user interface prototype using Figma to simulate simple operational workflows for a mobile application.

• Focused on intuitive navigation and task clarity in scenarios requiring rapid response
• Improved user experience for carpark mobile application

Urban Bicycle Rack Concepts
Produced a series of conceptual urban bicycle rack designs using SketchUp.

• Balanced structural strength with aesthetic appeal and spatial efficiency
• Considered user behaviour, accessibility, and long-term durability in public installations
