About – Jeremy Fu

Jeremy Fu

I have loved the outdoors ever since I was a cub scout, making my own adventures in the woods at Camp Oljato. As a family we’d take road trips up and down the coast of California and inland towards Yosemite and Tahoe, packing our SUV to the brim be it with camping equipment or skis.

I credit my parents for instilling in me an appreciation of nature and a desire to help others, traits which have influenced me to design products to help people and the planet.

Being a Peer Adviser and mentoring 10 new engineering students every year has been one of the most rewarding experiences during my time at Northwestern. Now, as a masters student, I get the rewarding experience of being a TA for courses I’ve taken in the past.

Some of the teams I’ve had the pleasure to develop products with, to learn more about my projects, visit my portfolio page.

My Shrimp!

I have always found comfort in aquariums. There is something magical about being responsible for a miniature ecosystem. I see the delicacy and beauty of nature reflected in my tank. My aquarium captures memories of trips to the tide pools that dot the California coast, where I tried to trap wild shrimp with my hands, moving slowly but deliberately through freezing water and hairgrass before surrounding them and admiring their coloration.

Plants! (and Planter Beds)

Quick weekend project while I was back home for winter break. I built 2 planter beds using 2×6 Redwood Planks, 3×3 Redwood posts and stainless steel deck screws to expand our family’s growing area.

My family didn’t have a powered saw for making cuts so I utilized the Home Depot Cutting Center to do all of my major cuts instead of cutting the planks by hand.
