OBJECTIVE
To obtain a full time job starts from January 2014 in the field of Material Science and Engineering.
EDUCATION
Michigan Technological University Houghton, MI
PhD Material Science and Engineering Expected Sep, 2014
Harbin Institute of Technology China
BS Environmental Engineering Sep, 2004-June, 2008
MAIN COURSES
Intro to Scan Elect Microscopy, Practical SEM, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Mechanical
Behavior of Materials.
ENGINEERING PROJECT EXPERIENCE
General Motors’ Project Oct, 2011 – Present
Michigan Technological University
Project: Rare-earth magnetic material reduction in industry.
Objective: Use powder process to decrease the content of rare-earth (Dysprosium) in magnetic material.
Use hardness tester.
Use Scanning Electron Microscopy and Optical Microscopy to analysis grain size, grain boundary and
microstructure.
Use Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM, FESEM) to do Fracture Analysis.
Use vacuum furnace and normal furnace to do Heat Treatment.
Use hot press machine to do Forging.
Use melt spinning and Arc melt to do Casting.
Decrease cost in industry. Dysprosium is expensive and limited supply.
Present results weekly to GM Company. Keep process confidentiality. Work in a team.
Work over 10 hours every day. Finish all the PhD level classes and experiments in 3 years.
Work hard and have several findings during research, get salary raise.

WORK EXPERIECE IN MATERAIAL TESTING
Assistant Engineer
Construction Project Quality Inspection Center of Zhangjiagang (China) July 2008 – Dec 2010
Work Description:
Test flexure strength and do tensile test of reinforcing steel bar.
Test alkali-resisting, viscosity and water resistance of heat insulating construction material.
Test the content of benzene series, HCHO and other harmful substance in construction.
Work in the only Construction Center in the city with 905,000 people. Attend over 50 projects. All of
them is about construction materials testing (include reinforcing steel). Get seven inspection certifications
in 2.5 years. Got the most certifications in such short time in this company.
