• Graduate Research Assistant (Penn State University) 2012 – present Modeling the tribology (friction) and contact mechanics in the helicopter gearbox to simulate and improve its performance against loss-of-lubrication situation. The project contains a wide range of topics in mechanical engineering, including material elastic and plastic deformation, contact flash temperature, surface thermal and mechanical failure, and heat transfer at the gear tooth. The MATLAB code has been extensively used in the project to evaluate the model and to perform simulation.

• Post Graduate Engineering Intern in Mech Integration & Reliability (Western Digital) 2015 May – Aug Conducted component level tests in the clean room to influence of various parameters on the head-disk-interface and to find the root cause of specific types of scratches in the HDD. Developed an interactive image analysis GUI with MATLAB allowing users to quantitatively analyze the lubricant contamination on read-and-write head.

• Graduate Engineering Intern (Western Digital) 2014 Jun – Aug Programed several image processing applications and their user interface with MATLAB. These applications are used to quantitatively analyze multiple kinds of contamination on read-and-write head based on contrast and shape

• Course grader of Finite Element Analysis 2011-2012 Graded homework and exams

• Teaching Assistant of Thermodynamics 2010

Graded homework and exams; gave recitation classes to sophomores Projects

• AHS student design competition: Worked in a team to design and build the CAD model of a conceptual helicopter to meet various specifications such as range, speed, and payload, etc.

• Graduate course final project (Conduction): Derived the analytical solution of a 2D conduction problem under various boundary conditions. Verified the steady-state and transient solution using finite element method.

• Graduate course final project (SolidWorks fundamentals): Measured, modeled and assembled a can opener in SolidWorks with at least 200 features and two moving parts. Then conducted stress analysis with SolidWorks simulation.
