RESEARCH 06/2005 - Present

Study of Regret and Rejoicing and a New MCDM Method Based on Them

EXPERIENCE Investigated the effects of some key behavioral issues, such as feelings of regret and rejoicing, on

people s decision-making and the impact that such emotional factors might bring on Multi-Criteria

Decision-Making (MCDM) problems. Developed a new way to measure regret and rejoicing which is

more realistic and flexible than current methods. Designed a new MCDM method to incorporate the

notion of regret and rejoicing systematically in the MCDM modeling for rational decision-making.

01/2003 - 05/2005

Study of Ranking Irregularities with the ELECTRE II and III Methods

Studied the ranking irregularity problems which occur with some MCDM methods, especially the

ELECTRE II and III methods. Analyzed the reasons for this phenomenon and tested the frequency of

the ranking problems with these two methods by using computer-generated and real-life decision

problems.

09/2007 - 12/2007

Study of Experimental Design and Analysis of a Messy Crossover Design

Studied three models for analyzing crossover designs. Applied these models to an unbalanced crossover

design and examined their performances. Analyzed the data of a special crossover trial by SAS and

reported and explained the results to client.

04/2001 - 04/2002

Nonlinear Control of an Electro-hydraulic Servo-system

Developed a nonlinear control solution for an electro-hydraulic servo system by using geometry control

theory of nonlinear systems. Simulated the nonlinear control model by MATLAB/SIMULINK.

WORK Graduate Assistant at the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at LSU 06/2005 08/2008

EXPERIENCE Created and maintained web pages for the PBS Dept. and the Division of BioMMED and COBRE.

Graduate Assistant at Louisiana Business and Technology Center 01/2003 - 05/2005

Developed and maintained database and web pages to support the Center s mission.

Assistant Engineer at Beijing Cage Numerical-Control Sets of Equipment Ltd. 05/2002 - 11/2002

Collaborated with two colleagues on a project titled A Simulation System of NC Machines.

Responsible for development and simulation of a mathematical model of the cutting process of NC

machines.

Part-time Teacher at the Continuing Education College of NPU 03/2001 - 01/2002

Responsible for teaching the course College English to two classes of freshmen of about 60 students.
