EXPERIENCE

Project Manager and Senior Engineer (October 2010-Current) GESAC, Inc

In charge of the blast dummy test lab for India open pit mine, develop and design the mid-size dummy with mini-pressure sensors at chest and head area to measure the pressure during the blasting. Design and manufacture the calibration test fixtures (head drop, chest impact, neck and knee impact, and foot compression) for the blast dummy which include the mechanical, electric control, and sensors.

Crash Test Lab consultant (May 2010-October 2010) Chery Automobile of China

Establish the dummy calibration and load cell calibration standard test lab which is the largest lab in Asia. Training and monitor young engineers for the car to car and sled test set up, which include the car and dummy set up, data acquisition sensor channel input, and output data analysis. Technical support on the C-NCAP, EURO-NCAP, and US regulation of the car crash tests.

Senior Project Egineer (1997-Jan. 2010) First Technology Safety Systems

Principal project engineer on the front, side, rear impact and child car crash test dummies, such as H3 10 year old dummy project, H3 5th, 95th, 3 year old and 6 year old dummy update design projects for NPRM, SID-IIs head form design, THOR-LX, FLX, and THOR-FT dummy, MAMA-2B, pregnant dummy and RID-3D, the rear impact dummy projects from design concept to prototype and production which includes select the critical material, rubber and vinyl mold design, check tolerance and fitting on the drawings, release drawings and create bill of material, and testing. Analyzed whole car crash test data and the sled test data for dummy design validation. Familiar with the machinery, rubber, vinyl, foam, and calibration testing processes.

Senior Design Engineer (1991-1997) GESAC, Inc

Design & Research: Principal engineer of THOR, 50th male front impact dummy. Design the face, head, neck, rib, spine, abdomen, and pelvis femur from the concept to the prototype using FEA simulation. Design the advanced 3 point seat belt using simulation of front impact, study the belt pretension. Study airbag deployment rate vs. delta-V for depowered Study the airbag effectiveness in the frontal impacts by study NASS (National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data), and deployment rate vs. delta-V, airbag dimension and volume.
