Polymer Scientist with an extensive experience in polymer synthesis and manufacturing processes. Chemical Engineer with a background in technical services and project management. Motivated problem solver with an aptitude for innovation, skills in troubleshooting problems and a passion for developing materials for real-life applications. Fluent in Chinese and English.
EDUCATION
PhD - Chemistry, Southern Methodist University Aug. 2011 – Aug. 2016
Synthesized electrochemically active and photo-absorbing polymers containing viologen groups for applications such as electrolyte and/or electrode materials in energy conversion and storage devices.
Designed and built a variety of polymer topologies/architectures (e.g., hyperbranched polymers, block copolymers, polymer network) for targeted material properties via polymerization techniques such as ATRP and RAFT.
Investigated the preparation and application of adhesive polymers (polycyanoacrylate) and thermoresponsive polymers (poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)).
Guided undergraduate students to conduct research projects and served as a teaching assistant in chemistry classes.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Process Engineer, Oerlikon Textile Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd Jul. 2007 – Jul. 2011
Optimized process conditions of polymers (e.g., PET, PA66) on extrusion, spinning and winding; created better yarn qualities for the product.
Collaborated with R&D team to design and conduct experiments in manufacturing plant, evaluated results and recommended solutions.
Provided engineering services to customers in troubleshooting problems.
Worked alongside the project manager, sales, and other cross-functional teams for the plant commissioning and start-up.
Representative projects:
Started up the world’s largest partially-oriented-yarn PET plant in Shenghong. Started up the world’s first production line of PTT fiber plant in Zhonglu. Set up pilot positions for equipment upgrading for customers in Indonesia. 2 P a g e
