different surface treatment on the performance of detectors.

Developed an optimal crystal cutting, polishing and packaging procedures of radiation detective

material sample for industrial applications through testing a variety of manufacturing and packaging

methods.

Research Assistant, Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, University of Minnesota,

Minneapolis, MN May 2005 to present

Participation in the research of performance and reliability improvements on shape memory materials as

next generation micro sensor and actuator materials for aerospace engineering and medical applications.

Performed samples preparations of the shape memory alloys, including crystal growth, crystal

orientation on X-Ray Microdiffraction machine, crystal cutting on EDM, mechanical polishing on

BUEHLER system, chemical polishing and heat treatment, to improve samples performances and

reliabilities.

Designed and operated experiments and develop different computation models to study

austenite-martensite phase transformation and magnetic and mechanical properties of materials

related with application performances and packaging reliabilities.

Research Assistant, Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Peking University, Beijing,

China Jan. 2001 to Jul. 2004

Participation in Chinese National projects “Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Particle Inclusion/Polymer

Matrix Composite Materials” and “Mechanical Behavior of Porous Composite Materials”, sponsored by

NNSFC.
