Design of a Robotic Seeding Machine, Boston, MA Sep-Dec 2015 Project leader of the winning team in mechanical engineering senior design

•! Led a team of 5 to design a CAD model of robotic arm and delivery mechanism, and programed a software control interface for seed planting, which reduced projected costs by $198,000 after 6-months payback period comparing to labor planting

•! Selected proper motors, actuators and sensors for the seeding mechanism to accomplish the task

•! Optimized operation work flow and seeding process cycle time by selecting motors, actuators and sensors; created Bill of Material (BOM) and conducted financial justification

•! Was selected out of 40 teams to present the project to 300 senior students and professors in the engineering department Measurement and Evaluation Wavy Flow of Marine Vehicle, Berkeley, CA 2016-2017

•! Propose and test methods to reduce marine vehicles’ drag from wave to improve fuel economy in ocean transportation

•! Designed measurement hardware with CAD model and manufactured and assembled the testing mechanism

•! Developed microprocessor system for drag and wave pattern measurement and wireless data transmission using analog signal; designed testing plan to collect desired data and minimize uncertainty Design and Implement Advanced Energy Systems, Berkeley, CA Sep 2017

•! Designed a wind turbine power generating system to reach maximum power output and energy efficient using MATLAB

•! Implemented a traditional solar panel to save 24% energy by changing its tilting angle with sun during the day Quizlet Product Management and Agile Marketing Development Plan, Berkeley, CA Jan 2016

•! Designed a UI APP prototype, featuring Google promotional add-ons, to better understand customer needs

•! Analyzed 120 survey responses using hypothesis testing in Tableau to identify top 4 target market characteristics

•! Pioneered 4 innovation marketing strategies that foster sustainable solution for the Director of Marketing at Quizlet Design of a Reactor for Thermodynamic Stabilities of Fuel Cell Cathode Materials Research, Boston, MA 2014-2016

•! Automated the reactor and simulated thermodynamic stability testing of high-performance SOFC cathode materials under molten salt environment solution

•! Identified and resolved the problems of lack of control, safety and automation by building a reactor chamber with automated stirring and dispense mechanism mechanisms
