Wang Binhao, class of 2025 in Electrical Engineering of ZJUI, he has achieved outstanding academic performance, earning the Zhejiang University First-Class Scholarship, Second-Class Scholarship, Third-Class Scholarship. In academic research, he co-authored a paper titled "An Infrastructure Smart Outlet Solution for 95% of Daily EV Charging", which was presented at the 2024 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC Asia-Pacific). Additionally, he served as the person in charge of the Broadcasting Club. For his exceptional overall performance, he was honored with the title of "Outstanding Student" by Zhejiang University.
Notably, he is also an amateur 5-dan Go player, winning second place in the 2022 Zhejiang University International Campus "Freshman Cup" Board Game Competition. And he participated in the Chicago City Go Tournament and secured fourth place in the high-dan division (5d+).
Currently, he has received admission offers from several prestigious universities worldwide, including the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia University, the University of California, Los Angeles, the National University of Singapore, the University of Washington, and Northwestern University. He will soon begin his next academic journey at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Wang Binhao began learning Go (Weiqi) from a young age and has since applied its strategic thinking to his academic pursuits. Upon entering ZJUI, he planned his learning path, prioritizing foundational mastery before advancing to practical applications. When challenged by sophomore-level mathematics courses, he achieved outstanding grades through rigorous problem-solving and proactively served as a teaching assistant, fostering mutual growth through peer instruction.
Wang Binhao's research journey has been with challenges. The programming difficulties in the ECE220 course initially frustrated him, but the strategic thinking honed through Go enabled him to recalibrate and rediscover his research direction. Benefiting from ZJUI's interdisciplinary curriculum, he identified his passion in power electronics.
During the summer of his sophomore year, he joined Professor Ji Xiaoyu's team at Zhejiang University, investigating the impact of voltage instability on IoT devices. There, he successfully completed simulations and experimental validation, which solidified his confidence in research. Subsequently, he contributed to Professor Philip T. Krein's electric vehicle charging system project , leveraging his interdisciplinary expertise in both hardware and software. His efforts culminated in a co-authored paper (as second author) at the 2024 IEEE ITEC Asia-Pacific Conference, titled "An Intelligent EV Socket Solution for 95% of Daily Charging Scenarios."
While excelling academically, Wang Binhao has demonstrated strong leadership and communication skills through active engagement in campus cultural initiatives. He played a key role in promoting cross-cultural exchange as a member of the Student Union’s External Relations Department and later led the Broadcasting Club of the Campus in developing influential programs and events that enriched the university’s cultural landscape. Beyond campus, his commitment to public service and personal growth is reflected in rural development fieldwork in Lishui, as well as his deep passion for the game of Go — a lifelong interest that has shaped his values, strategic thinking, and approach to life.
