pressure emergency relief systems and evaluated existing relief systems.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Hsinchu, Taiwan July-September 2011(2 months)

Material Research Engineer(Intern)-Advanced Lithography Process Department

Established DUV, ArF exposure energy, focus, and corresponding CD, DOF values in 20nm node pitches regarding to

various novel photoresist systems.

Responsible for photoresist performance evaluation, residue removal recipe and poor coating issues development.

Analyzed product qualities through statistics software (SiView)

Conducted experiments to increase wafer surface wettability by changing surface chemistry properties

Developed novel pre-wet coating recipe and lowered poor coating defect numbers by 40%

Ministry of National Defense Chemical Corps Division, Taiwan August 2009-July 2010(1 year)

Chemical Research Staff Officer, Second Lieutenant

Designed piping and power distribution systems for new military base project (~$2 million) with AutoCAD.

Prepared evaluation package with vendor quoted proposals, scope of work and cost breakdown list for purchase order.

Commanded a rescue team to extinguish industrial chemical fires in a chemical plant in Changhua, Taiwan, May 2010

U. of California–San Diego, Chemical Engineering Department March-Sep2011 (6 month)

Research Assistant (Adviser: Prof. Richard. K. Herz)

Use ASPEN plus to simulated process - Dehydration of Methanol to Dimethyl Ether (DME) by Catalytic Distillation (CD) and

Traditional Process for combining series of a fixed-bed reactor and a catalytic distillation column

Applied experimentally determined reaction kinetic data to develop the model for a CD process for methanol dehydration.

Optimized reactor columns and distillation parameters and improved heat integration to lower the capital cost by Matlab.

Achievements: Proved that a single catalytic distillation column has significant potential for reduction of overall cost

when it is compared to traditional processes that involve separate reaction and distillation

National Environmental Protection Agency, Taiwan June 2008-Jun/2009 (1 year)

Research Assistant

Development of Novel Porous Mixed Matrix Scaffolds and Adsorption of Cu+2 Ions for W aste W ater Filtration.

Synthesized uniform distribution of ion exchange resins into the porous stereo-structural chitosan matrix.

Heterogeneously cross-linked with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance mechanical strength and matrix adsorption capacity.

Developed kinetics models for copper ion isothermal adsorption in order to investigate the limiting step .

Conducted tradeoff analysis between the high surface area of Chitosan matrix and the high removal ability of ion exchange

resins. Maximized Cu+2 Ion adsorption efficiency of the mixed matrix to 90% copper ions removal capacity.
