EXPERIENCE
● Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
July 2003 – June 2007
Research Assistant
Investigated on research of characteristics and application of small-scaled Electrostatic
Precipitators (ESP) for indoor air cleaners. Designed a set of experimental instruments and
tested dust removal efficiency of ESP under multiple conditions. Created a simplified empirical
formula of ESP efficiency and calibrated it based on experimental data.
