Active Member, MSU Formula SAE Team Jul 2012 - Dec 2013

Manufactured the spare parts and carbon fiber monocoque of the formula racing car, which was ranked 11 out of 80 participating vehicles in the competition of the year

Designed and operated the chassis torque test to evaluate the torsional stiffness of the chassis

Created 3D model for the vehicle by using UG NX and operate Finite Element Analysis for the chassis Production Coordinator Intern, China Pacific Marine Service LC Jun 2014 - Aug 2014

Contacted and introduced the company to clients to expand the company's business, created 2 new connections

Checked purchaser's inquiry items' availability and created inquiry lists for suppliers

Negotiated the price of the items with clients and successfully increased profit at least 4% in trades Engineering Internship, KaiYuan Valve LC May 2009 - Aug 2009

Helped design the mold, mixed the oiled sand, and created the casting mold for valves

Checked the thermal expansion rate of the metals and determined the dimension of the mold

Arranged the molds, cleaned and polishing the valves after molten metal solidified MSU Research Assistant, Perspirable Skin Material Jul 2013 - Dec 2013

Blended powders and sintered testing samples with different concentration in order to find the optimized composition

Machined the samples into the designed shapes in order to prepare for the later thermal buckling test

Tested the sample’s strength, hardness, and coefficient of thermal expansion Project Experience

Capstone Project, Sponsored by General Motors Sep 2013 - Dec 2013

Designed a vehicle cabin ventilation system to reduce temperature increment caused by sunlight radiation

Tested cabin temperature for 2013 Buick Lacrosse under 800W/m2 light radiation, 20, 4mph headwind in 90 min soak

Created/enhanced convection area to ensure better ventilation circulation in order to increase heat transfer

Designed the system, created the math model for the system, and operated the test

Effectively reduced the average cabin temperature from 60 Celsius to 35 Celsius

Performed a presentation which detailed projects, problem, strategy and solution Nonlinear FEA Project: Pipe Intersection Aug 2014 - Dec 2014

Analyzed a pipe intersection under a certain pressure and found critical location by applying solid mechanics analysis

Developed a theoretical mathematical model and found a solution by Matlab, the result has an error less than 0.2% compared with the result from Abaqus

Redesigned the pipe intersection to ensure it can survive the maximum load FEA Project: Governor Design Jan 2015 - May 2015

Created a 3D model by SolidWorks and analyzed the structure under the given load by applying solid mechanics analysis

Designed governor and defined the dimensions to limit the vertical deflection less than 1.75 mm, frequency less than 2000 Hz, max stress less than 1750 MPa
