WORK EXPERIENCE

Rock and Fluid Property, University Park, PA Teaching Assistant October 2014 – December 2014

Assisted the teacher in carrying out coursework, grading, proctoring, and guiding the 200 students Army Logistics Command, Taipei, Taiwan Second Lieutenant, Chief Counselor July 2013 – June 2014

Responsible for the physical and physiological condition of the 196 soldiers in my battalion

Administered military discipline and enforced ethics standard Underground Water Resource Lab, Tainan, Taiwan Undergraduate Researcher February 2012 – June 2012

Estimated the hot spring permissive yielding in the Sz-Chung-Shi, a river located at southern Taiwan

Analyzed the data with water balance concept model, based-flow record estimation, Index Recharged Method, and Rock Quality Designation

Built an empirical model suggesting that the permissive yielding of the Sz-Chung-Shi hot spring area was at a value of 22.63x104 m3 / year by controlling specified conditions, including underground safe yielding, geothermal resource, and fracture pattern

CPC Corporation: Exploration and Development Research Institute, Miao-Li, Taiwan Intern October 2010

Contributed to a project, which used Mercury Pump Porometers to measure the porosity of sampled rocks at the Tsu-Huang-Kun oil field

Used Brookfield Viscometers to measure the viscosity of mud and ensure a successful drilling RELEVANT PROJECTS

Reservoir characterization of Laurentian Basin March 2015 – May 2015

Made qualitative interpretation of the geology at Laurentian Basin, Canada via OpendTech

Interpreted 2D and 3D petrophysical property maps to find potential oil/gas reservoir Development of a Single-phase Compressible Fluid Flow Model September 2014 – December 2014

Simulated a reservoir condition by applying Matlab to analyze data collected from a reservoir field

Applied Systematic Iterative Methods to determine the amount of production and injection of gas under specified pressure limit of pipeline

Designed the research model showing that the reservoir will support the daily use of 20,000 people by controlling both the specified pressure and the initial pressure of reservoir Development of Phase Behavior Model of Reservoir Fluid September 2014 – December 2014

Built a simulator of reservoir fluid by compiling Matlab

Created a reliable prediction of natural gas in the reservoir under different conditions based on thermodynamic properties, calculation and data
