PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research associate in Harbin Institute of Technology (Powder Metallurgy), 2006-2009

Fabricated ultra-fine grain magnesium alloys (Mg) with super yield strength by in-situ vacuum hot

pressing, dehydrogenation, sintering and further warm extrusion from pre mechanical milled

magnesium hydride nano powders (MgH2).

Analyzed the metal matrix composites and microstructure evolution of ultra-fine grain magnesium

alloy (Mg) using transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) technology.

Conducted compression, tensile, thermal expansion failure test and analysis to improve magnesium

alloy quality and process performance.

Synthesized anisotropic nano-szie Mo-Cu composites applied in super integrated circuits using

molybdenum, copper powders with nickel catalyst via mechanical milling, solid state phase sintering,

and extrusion.

Based on layer-by-layer metal matrix structure, designed a creative powder sintering process to

synthesize molybdenum-copper (Mo-Cu) composites by permeating copper powders into

molybdenum hard skeleton.

Designed uniaxial conductivity, hardness and thermo-stability test methods for measuring electronic,

mechanical and thermal properties of Mo-Cu composites.

Research associate in Iowa State University (Design and Manufacturing), 2010- Present

Designed and Manufactured high performance and cost-effective diamond micro-tools using

nano-diamond powders and an innovative Laser Shock Wave Induced Freeform Technique (LSWIFT)

A scarified layer was confined by transparent overlay and burned to evaporate by intensive laser beam

which resulted in great shock wave for processing.

Conducted multi-scale modeling to explore physics underlying LSWIFT to provide fundamental

knowledge for further fabrication optimization.

Conducted simulations to investigate the mechanism of laser shock processing: dynamic analysis by

ABAQUS/Explicit and static analysis by ABAQUS/Standard were performed in detail to predict the

residual stress field, microstructure evolution and densification of final products.

Welded AISI 304 stainless steel foils by Q-switch Nd:YAG laser in seam

Analyzed quality and heat transfer of this welding process, and results showed that comparison to

resistance seam welding, laser welding required nearly three times less heat input and produced welds

having 50% narrower seam, 15% less porosity, 25% stronger and improved surface aesthetics

Coated nano-diamond powders in cutting tools surface to improve corrosion and fatigue resistance via

laser assisted manufacturing due to surface and subsurface microstructure improvement, including

dislocation density increase, phase transition and grain refinement.

Conducted experiments to test coating stability and adhesive failure analysis

Research associate in Iowa State University (Ceramics Processing), 2009-2010

Researched the effects of using a wire saw to cut a single crystal wafer of lead magnesium niobate

lead titanate (PMN-PT).

Optimized machining process and investigated improvements of wafer surface roughness, waviness,

cracks and other defects.

Modeling for volume strain and stress analysis due to phase transition in process of wire saw and etch.

Internship, Hunan Boyun New Materials Company, Changsha, China, 07/2009 – 08/2009

Duties Included: Structure design of carbon/carbon composite brakes and test including: thermal

conductivity, diffusion, wear test etc.

Internship, First Automobile Works (FAW), Changchun, China, 10/2006 – 11/2006

Duties Included: Forge technician and mechanical design of car body structure
