SUMMARY OF CREDENTIALS

. Senior metallurgist with 10 years working experience in heat treatment

of carbon steel, material processing, characterization, and failure

analysis.

. Master degree in Materials Science.

. Expertise in microstructural characterization, heat treatment,

evaluation of the surface and bulk mechanical properties for various

materials.

. Hands-on skills in operating SEM with EDS, hardness testing, chemical

etching, and metallurgical preparation of the samples.

. Knowledge of various standards such as ASTM and AISI.

. Ability to work both in a team environment and a solo explorer.

. Good at writing technical report.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

06/2009-Present Metallurgist and Guest Scientist

NIST (National Institute of

Standard and Technology)

Energy Institute, George

Washington University, Washington DC.

Duties and responsibilities

. Responsible for the projects sponsored by the leading diesel engine

company.

. Develop advanced surface technology to reduce energy loss for diesel

engine components.

Achievements

Develop a novel technology to fabricate surface texture on large curved

surfaces for the first time. A DOE project was completed successfully

within a very tight time frame, which kept the continuous funding from

DOE.

09/2004-10/2008 Metallurgist

University of Windsor, Windsor, Canada,

NSERC/General Motors of Canada/ Industrial

Research Chair (IRC) in

Tribology of Lightweight Materials, Mechanical,

Automotive & Materials

Engineering

Duties and responsibilities

. In charge of the flag ship project of the Industrial Research Chair

(IRC) in Tribology of Lightweight Materials sponsored by the GM and

NSERC aimed to improve automotive engine efficiency and emission.

. Perform failure analysis of engine components and engine grade

materials.

. Responsible for the characterization of micro-structure and mechanical

properties of the casting aluminum alloy developed by General Motor

for the light weight engines.

Achievements

. Develop a chemical etching process to remove the aluminum from the

alloy leaving the Si phase on the surface for additional wear

resistance. Such surface treatment has strong interfacial bonding as

well as enhanced wear resistance.

08/2001- 08/2004 Metallurgist

Engineering Materials Processing Center, Jiuquan Iron & Steel

Co. Ltd., China

Duties and responsibilities

. Develop self-lubricated metallic composites aimed to be used under

extreme environmental conditions using power metallurgy synthesis.

. Develop composites applied to steel plate processing assembly for

Jiuquan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd.

. Perform the metallurgical characterization of the phase structure and

microstructure.

Achievements

The new composites were successfully used by Lanzhou Advanced

Materials Ltd. and Jiuquan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., which boosted

revenue of the lab for 1 million in Chinese Yuan.

10/1998 - 07/2000 Visiting Scholar

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tohoku

University, Japan,

07/1989 - 10/1998 Metallurgist

Lanzhou University, Lanzhou Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., (later

combined with Jiuquan Iron & Steel, China,

Duties and responsibilities

. Heat treatment of carbon steel.

. In charge of mechanical evaluation of ferrous materials.

Achievements

. The relationship between the alloying elements on mechanical property

of Co3Ti alloy was established and Co3Ti with 2.5 wt% Fe was firstly

found to have the optimum high temperature mechanical properties. The

microstructures and their effects on the shape memory property of the

CuAlBe alloy were identified.
