Research Assistant Jun

2009 - July 2013

. Developed automated manipulation software using C++ and QT GUI / MFC for

nano devices assembly with carbon nanotubes and nano particles (size of

50nm diameter) via atomic force microscope (AFM), the algorithms include

control of AFM, image processing with MATLAB, CAD geometry representation

of nano-particles and carbon nanotubes and path planning

. Object-oriented designed software used for fabricating complex nano-

patterns on a polymer surface with computer-aided design (CAD) guided

design and analyzed key machining parameters including interval of nano-

indentation, the depth of nano-grooves, pause time between indentations

and provided a proper procedure determining these parameters

. Modeled manipulation of nano-particles and carbon nanotubes and nano-

indentation, explored the interaction between tip and objects during

nanoscale fabrication with finite element analysis

. Investigated methods for carbon nanotubes recognition and localization

during the manipulation process involving dynamic CAD representation

. Cooperated with chemistry lab to measure the elasticity and affinity map

of a single collagen cell via atomic force microscope focusing on force

curves evaluation and design the MATLAB GUI for users' convenience
