OBJECTIVE

Seeking a full-time Scientist/Engineer position offering 8+ years of professional

experience in chemical/polymer engineering.

QUALIFICATION

Extensive experience in nanostructured thin film preparation, polymer process and

synthesis, molecular sieve preparation.

Excellent hands-on skills in characterization of materials using GC, SEM, EDS,

AFM, ToF-SIMS, UV, X-ray Diffraction, Dynamic Light Scattering, Dynamic Wetting

Analysis, BET Surface Measurement.

Adept in structure-property relationships of materials, research experiments design,

and equipment assembly.

Collaborate with industry (General Motors Corporation) to develop coatings applied

on PEM fuel cell bipolar plates.

Successfully coordinate and perform decisive work impacting $700,000 projects

when in auto industry. One product scrap rate decreased from 7% to 0.6%; Materials

for other two products were saved up to 5%.

Proficient writing and presentation skills.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant 09/2005~present

University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH

Design and layer-by-layer (LBL) assemble of multi-functional thin films for PEM Fuel

Cell bipolar plate application.

De-convolute the effects of surface chemistry on surface wetting according to

theoretical models (Johnson-Dettre, Cassie and Wenzel models), and effects of thin

films nanostructure on the surface contact resistance.

Stabilize colloid suspensions by using polyols. Systematically investigate the change

of particle zeta-potential by varying pHs, alcohol types and contents.

Research on LBL assembly kinetics for silica nanoparticle arrays under different

colloidal suspension chemistry.

Design and prepare graphite/silica composite thin films with multi-dimensional

structures in nano-scale.

Synthesize various mesoporous materials (ZSM-12, SBA-15 and MCM-41) through

sol-gel process as highly shape-selective catalysts.

Process Engineer 04/2004~08/2005

Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China

Managed vacuum-forming process for top door trim of Buick (GM). Product scrap

rate decreased from 7% to 0.6% by modifying the mould.

Managed vacuum-forming process for B and CD pillars of Santana (VW). Led a

change of material feeding model for this process and coordinated engineers from

different departments. Materials were saved up to 5% after this modification.

Implemented the trial production (vacuum-forming process part) for instrumental

panel of Mazda 3 (Mazda).

Monitored slush-molding process for instrumental panel skin of Passat (VW).

Research Assistant 09/2001~03/2004

East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China

Synthesized fluorinated copolymers containing sulfonic groups by atom transfer

radical polymerization (ATRP).

Examined surface properties of the films prepared from these novel copolymers.

Studied solution performance of these block copolymers in both organic and

inorganic media.

Applied the fluorinated copolymers to PUA coating to improve water resistance. The

water absorption ratio of the modified PUA films dropped 60%.

OTHER EXPERIENCE

Assistant Lab Supervisor 03/2006~02/2007

University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH

Supervised the experimental instruments involved in chemical engineering, and

trained TAs and undergraduates.

Developed new experiments (PEM fuel cell, solar cell, gas membrane separation).

Designed and assembled experiment equipments.

Demonstrated and explained experiments involved new energy (fuel cells, solar cell)

to visitors.
