OBJECTIVE

A position allowing me to apply my computational background to solve real world problems and to

gain new knowledge and working experience.

EDUCATION

• Fudan University, Shanghai, China

Bachelor of Science, School of Mathematical Sciences, July 2010

• Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL

Master of Science, Department of Scientific Computing, Dec 2012

• Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL

Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Scientific Computing, Aug 2010-

INTERNSHIPS

• Datamaxx Group Inc., Tallahassee, Florida.

Software Development Group, currently enrolled.

Working on design and development of applications based on MVC using C#. Working on wireless

portals and distributed data access environment repositories.

• Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Predictive Method Group,

Math and Computational Science Division, May 20th, 2013-Aug 23rd, 2013.

Built a software package in C++ to simulate Neal’s algorithm 8 in statistics. The program was

written in an object-oriented and inheritance form and was tested on HPC machines to recluster a

large group of data from Procter & Gamble.

PROJECTS

• Blood Cell Simulation.

Built a software in C++ to simulate adhesion between blood cells. The program was developed in

an Object-Oriented form and successfully simulated the cell deformation and adhesion process. It

can be easily maintained by adding additional fluid dynamic classes and modifying internal routines.

• Bank Teller Simulation.

Built a software in C++ to track the appropriate number of bank tellers during different business

hours. The program was developed in an Object-Oriented way and implemented using Priority

Queue. It successfully kept balance between the amount of customers and bank tellers.
