Research & Academic Projects

Undergraduate Projects, Wuhan University of Technology 2006-

2007

• Designed and fabricated Hydraulic Auto-Climbing Scaffold including structural design (via Solidworks) and

stress analysis (ANSYS), hydraulic system design, as well as design, programming, testing, and debugging of

Programmable Logic Controller system (SIMATIC S7-200)

• Designed a traffic light auto-control system including interface board design between PIT (Intel 8253), PPI

(Intel 8255) and CUP (Intel 8086), and then programmed and tested the system via Assembly Language

strength and bending fatigue strength, finite element analysis of gears and shafts, and 3D modeling and

simulation in Solidworks

Research Assistant, Micro/nano system lab, University of Texas at Arlington

2009-Present

• 4+ years hands-on experience in class 100 cleanroom fabrication; Designed multi level masks and Conducted

photolithography, etching (wet, dry and DRIE) and thin film deposition (PVD, CVD and LP/PECVD) to

fabricate SU-8 and silicon micro/nano structures, sensors and MEMS devices

• Conducted finite element method to calculate displacements, strains, and stresses under internal and external

loads. Proficient in structural, thermal and fluidic modeling and analysis (ANSYS, Matlab and etc.)

• Characterization and analysis of micro/nano-scaled structures, thin films and MEMS devices by using

metrology tools, such as AFM, XRD, Optical Microscopy, SEM and etc.

• Investigated natural materials and wetting properties of roughness surfaces, and fabricated various

micro/nanostructures with special functions(self-clean surface, friction-reduced surface, anti-fog surface and

anti-icing surface) by applying existing microfabrication technologies and developing new fabrication

approaches, and simulation, testing and optimization of the fabrication processes

• Applied microfabrication processes to developed prototypes of anti-biofouling surface using PDMS on

intraocular lenses for their long-term use in the eyes of cataract patients, which included design, material

selecting, process validation, prototyping, and technical writing of the fabrication process

• Designed and developed new microfabrication approaches to fabricate prototypes of 3D microchannel-

incorporated PEEK implant by applying different fabrication technologies and manufacturing processes, and

conducted the stress analysis of the fabricated implant in ANSYS. The product price can be significantly

lowered from original value due to the reduction of the manufacturing cost
