EDUCATION
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering May 2012
Concentration: Power and Energy Systems GPA:2.83/4.00
WORK EXPERIENCE
University of Illinois Power Engineering Lab Urbana, IL
Undergraduate Lab Assistant January 2012 to August 2012
Performed laboratory equipment maintenance on FET boxes, SCR boxes, motors, resistor boxes, lab
benches, measurement equipments and class use equipments. 20 hours per week on average.
Aided the production of 20 FET box over summer of 2012 with pricing parts, performing product tests
and producing necessary parts such as toroid inductors, PCB boards, and heat sinks.
Assisted research engineers and graduate students with data collecting and problem-solving on projects
including, but not limited to, wind and solar energy systems, electric motors and voltage converters.
PROJECT EXPERIENCES
Engineering Open House Project Urbana, IL
Exhibitor/Designer March 2012
Designed the control circuit in the linear induction motor that was utilized in the exhibit.
Helped in repairing, testing and setting up other showcase products such as magnetic floating pan,
bicycle power generator, ring canon, and mini solar system.
Presented showcase products for 2 days and explained the theory to more than 200 people per day.
Urban Light System Simulation Project Urbana, IL
Designer August 2011 to December 2011
Simulated a flawed urban light system that has a size of 37 bus lines, 9 generators and contained 345KV,
138KV, and 69 KV buses using PowerWorld simulation software.
Constructed new buses and added substations for the specified loading of an 833 MW system.
Accomplished the goal of cost-effectiveness with no violations or faults.
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Prototype Design Project Urbana, IL
Designer January 2011 to May 2011
Created a wind turbine prototype based on a commercial product “Air-X” 400W wind turbine model.
Co-designed a set of curved blades in AutoCAD and tested in a wind tunnel using various wind speeds.
Realized the goal of much less noise and starting wind speed at 6 mph, instead of 8 mph.
Senior Design Project Urbana, IL
Designer January 2011 to May 2011
Collaborated on a hand dryer device by integrating a standard commercial hair dryer and an
autonomously designed mounting dock with a built-in infrared sensor and automatic system.
Achieved a working automatic sensing system using a microchip programmed in C language.
Implemented a LCD display on the mounting dock to display power consumption for each use.
