Self-Evaluation

Analytical, self-motivated bilingual professional, highly regarded for leveraging expertise in materials research, testing, and quality assurance to advance project objectives while adhering to timelines and best practices

Equipped with good communication, leadership and collaboration skills

Proficient in strategic planning, regulatory compliance, time management, complex problem-solving, as well as organization and multi-tasking

Conducted research and analysis, materials testing, and paid attention to details and process improvements

Work Experience

Summer 2019 Wuhan Ming Gao New Materials Co., Ltd Intern

Supported, through hands-on involvement, several projects related to metal surface modification and surface strengthening, primarily in the field of anti-wear and anti-corrosion. Conducted and summarized literature and patent research in the field of dry lubricant materials and coating methods, wear-resistant timing chains, and chain pin manufacturing methods. Gained insight into customer perspective by reading about material and process selection in conceptual design. Answered questions from web store and helped customers select the right paints by focusing on their specific requirements.

Utilized skills in communication and detail-orientation to revise bidding documents for two heavy industrial projects,

resulting in time savings of two weeks

Located and evaluated defects based on standards for “craters” on surface and alumina inclusion in the “SV” layer in order to understand failure mechanisms and seek potential improvements, reducing the defect rate by 50%

Observed that the diffusion layer of timing chains was too brittle, resulting in a crater when polished, resolved the issue by refining the grain structure and implementing inspection of surface condition and stress concentrators

Summer 2018 Wuhan Research Institute Of Materials Protection Intern

Learned about additive manufacturing technology. Selected and prepared aluminizing media for thermochemical treatment according to established policies and best practices. Performed corrosion and wear tests, documenting outcomes for future analysis.

Contributed to the preparation of a specialized coating for stainless steel surfaces that improved wear resistance and corrosion resistance

Explored aluminizing processes at more than 50 different temperatures, ranging from 600 to 800 degrees Celsius

Conducted hardness tests on processed metal components to establish alignment with project specifications
