Nagoya University Nagoya, Aichi, Japan

Participant of 2010 Summer Intensive Program Jun. 2010 – Jul. 2010

• Coursework Completed: Introductory Japanese Language, Latest Technologies in Automotive Engineering

Research Experience

Professor T.C. Tsao’s Laboratory Los Angeles, CA, USA

Undergraduate Researcher Jul. 2011 – Present

• Using 3-D and engineering designs drawn using Solidworks, currently machining the prototype air-bearing motor experiment apparatus (with dimensional tolerance of +/- 0.001 inches).

Materials Degradation Characterization Laboratory Los Angeles, CA, USA

Research Assistant Apr. 2010 – Jun. 2010, Apr. 2011 - Jun.2011

• Using Lamb wave velocities at various locations, studied semi-isotropic properties of CFRP panel and CFRP-Aluminum Honeycomb Structure and attenuation of wave signals in response to increasing distances between the transducers.

• Studied the methods of non-destructively measuring Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio of isotropic materials by measuring dilatational and shear wave velocities via ultra-wave transducers.

• Using ultra-wave transducers, analyzed wave frequency response in respect to the thickness of intact and damaged aluminum panel, while comparing the experimental data to the theoretical test data generated by ABAQUS software.

Jisan Research Institute Alhambra, CA, USA

Student Researcher Aug. 2003 – Jun. 2007

• Participated in developing and fabricating an alternative form of solar power generators by incorporating institute’s uni-axial magnetic propeller shaft, the “Epsilon Axle”.

• Helped design and fabricate the institute’s own vacuum chamber and the prototype magnetic gearbox with 1:1 ratio.

Work Experience

Exmill Technology, LLC. South Gate, CA, USA

Engineering Intern Oct. 2010 – Mar. 2011

• Hand calculated the thermal and structural stress distribution of the casing and heat sink of Exmill’s LED streetlight assembly.

• Contributed in developing the Exmill’s very own reflector simulation program, which was written using Visual C++.

• Determined and helped improve the thermal effectiveness of the PCB and the heat sink design by using Solidworks and hand calculations.
