EXPERIENCE

LP Amina, Beijing, China May 2014 – August 2014

Product Development Engineer Intern

Developed 3D models of nozzles and burners for Zhangshan and Juhua power plants’ NOx emission control and reduction project using Solidworks, and converted models into engineering drawings for manufacturing purposes

Analyzed catalyst properties for SCR ammonia system based on data given by catalyst suppliers using Excel

Generated mathematical models that predict the catalyst volumes needed to be used in future low NOx projects

Developed an innovative zigzag separator to separate silicon powder from coal-silicon powder mixture

Created a 3D model of Ammonia Injection Grid (AIG) using Solidworks from the sketch of the R&D department in order for the R&D to discuss the feasibility for development

Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Atlanta GA January 2014 – May 2014

Senior Capstone Design Project-- Mechanical Design Lead

Drafted design proposal that won the sponsorship project (washroom trash compactor) from Kimberly-Clark

Developed conceptual designs through detailed and fine hand drawings and 3D modeling using AutoCAD Inventor.

Designed and built a prototype of washroom trash compacter in public washrooms to relieve overflow of paper towels and saved janitorial time and cost

Led the team to create a test fixture and found the relationship of required force vs. trash loads, and required force vs. desired compacting ratios

Fabricated a working prototype using waterjet cutter, drill press and bandsaw

Integrated CAD and FEA Project, Atlanta GA January 2014 – May 2014

Team Lead

Designed a dolphin-like personal submarine that has segmented tail connected by motorized joints to achieve faster and easier maneuver under water

Modeled the main parts of the watercraft using Unigraphics NX

Conducted FEA analysis on the mechanical properties of the key components and located maximum strain

Determined the causes of localized strain and stress

Modified and improved the physical attributes and mechanism of the parts according to the FEA results
