EXPERIENCE

David Oakey Designs, Lagrange, GA June 2009 - August 2009

Topic: Biomimetic Design

. Collaborated with an Architect and an Industrial Designer to tackle

contemporary problems, such as: storing and capturing solar energy,

sustainable building designs, and city layouts.

. Extensively studied the bio-mechanics, anatomy, and functions of

various biological systems. Developed and modeled sustainable designs

that ranged from the nano-scale (vibration energy via piezoelectric

hairs) to the macro scale (passively ventilated buildings).

Undergraduate Research, Georgia Institute of Technology August 2008 -

April 2009

Topic: Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (VACNTs) on Bulk Copper for

novel Thermal Interface Materials

. Conducted chemical synthesis and analytical research that contributed

to the first reproducible VACNT on bulk copper using a common thermal

CVD process. Research conducted included:

- CNT growth on Si and Cu substrates - CNT/TMS chemical

synthesis

- Cu and Si surface polishing - FTIR analysis

Publications:

. W. Lin, R. Olivares, Q. Liang, R. Zhang, K. Moon, and C.P. Wong,

59th ECTC, 2009.

Materials Design, Georgia Institute of Technology September 2007 -

April 2008

Topic: Biomineralization of Structured Nano-Ceramics

. Synthesized and purified recombinant silaffins, which were used to

precipitate structured nano-ceramics (BaTiO3, FeO, and GeO2) at

ambient temperatures. Research conducted included:

- E-coli transformation and growth - SDS-PAGE assays

- Cation exchange purification

Building New Hope, Camoapa, Nicaragua June 2005 - August 2005

. Helped provide aid to children (7-11 yrs old) from distraught and

broken families.

. Planned recreational and educational activities, tutored with

homework, and helped cultivate a farm.
