PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
●Intern, Design for Manufacturing, Caterpillar Inc. Aurora, IL Dec 10-Aug 11
Identified Medium Wheel Loader potential part failure by TeamCenter, analyzed defects and found the
solution to reduce risk, refined and redesigned the parts with Pro/E.
Identified potential failure modes with PPAP & APQP standard, eliminated potential risks with the
minimum of effort and resource expenditure, reduced development time and costs by SFMEA, PFMEA,
DFMEA method.
Accomplished cost accounting with time studies and process flow chart, completed process design and
development with assembly line balancing work, fulfilled the process management work.
●Intern, Dragon Horizon Communications Technology, Beijing, China May 09-July 09
Designed and tested temperature monitor system for locomotive axle for preventing axle overheat during
long distance heavy load transportation.
Applied the wireless transmission and monitoring advantages of Zigbee which is a low-cost, low-power,
wireless mesh network standard into design and development of locomotive axle temperature monitor
system.
●Research Assistant, Walking Robot, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL Dec 09-Present
●Designed the prototype of Stair-Climbing Wheelchair
Designed 3D model based on Pro/E, manufactured parts with DXF files generated from 3D model.
Participated in parts gauge, calibration and parts assembly, then further adjusted parts fitting, providing
working smoothly between mating parts.
Tested and analyzed stair climbing kinematic and dynamic performance in MSC.ADMAS, optimized
critical parts and structure with FEA in ANSYS.
●Designed Leg Barrow based on the Walking Robot Concept
Built up mathematic model, solved differential equations with MATLAB, and imported data into Pro/E
for cam design, which could generate absolute straight foot trace with uniform speed.
Designed and tested simulation model based on Pro/E, then exported drawings for manufacturing.
Participated into prototype assembly, including parts calibration, gauge, tolerance study, and parts
adjustment during assembly process, further refinement of motion relationship between mating parts.
Programmed ladder logic diagram of four legs auto retraction and extension and walking, accomplished
and tested electrical circuit design, completed electric parts fasten design and assembly, finally realized
leg barrow initiative walking.
