EXPERIENCE

Research & Development Engineer for Footwear Design, Oxylane Research/Decathlon (2011-present)

• Project leader of three simultaneous projects: FE footwear simulation, material characterisation, and grip-traction of shoe soles.

• Used ABAQUS to model foot/shoe/ground interactions during walking and running using FE.

• Analysed and designed new footwear concepts and their effects on foot biomechanics.

• Specialised in the modelling of foam materials.

FE Analyst on the Design of a Tennis Ball for Dunlop, PhD at Loughborough University (2008-2011)

• Used ABAQUS to model tennis ball impact simulations using FE and design a new tennis ball.

• Conference publication: Viscoelastic Modelling of Tennis Ball Properties, 9th World Congress on Computational Mechanics and 4th Asian Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics, 2010

• Performed extensive material testing and used various tools such as high speed video recording and laser vibrometry to evaluate tennis balls’ performance.

Leader of a group project on the design of a convertible stroller, senior design project (May, 2008)

• Designed and built a stroller convertible into a tricycle with limited time and budget

• Presented the finished product at an engineering career fair.

Mechanical Engineering Intern, Renault Car Company (July, 2006)

• Prepared crash-tests prototypes.

• Analyzed the efficiency of security devices.

• Enhanced knowledge about the mechanical concepts involved in different kinds of car crash-tests.
