INTERNSHIP
Mechanical design engineering intern, Project innovation department, Faitron Ltd. September 2016 – present
• Researched marketplace and created modified design of an electric lunch box using 3D CAD Solidworks
• Re-designed door open mechanism of the lunch box, decreased 10 mm from the 80 mm original height, and generated
mock ups to validate feasibility with design team
• Worked with cross-functional teams on reviewing feasibility of the CAD models for plastic injection molding process
• Cooperated with design team, worked on carry bag design for the lunch box and made BOM
Engineering intern, Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd July 2014 – August 2014
• Studied assembly drawings of commercial truck engines and field studied the assembly line
• Dug up potential errors in the assembly line to improve the product qualified rate
• Discussed with team members and senior engineers and came up with possible solutions to the errors
ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Pacman Plastic Injection Molding Project, Northwestern University January 2016 – March 2016
• Worked as a team leader, generated the design concept, established a 10-week timeline for the project process, organized
weekly meetings, and determined the design adjustments to avoid fabrication defects
• Generated 3D CAD models using CATIA V5, verified models and tool pathing of machining process on NX10
• CNC machined aluminum molds for plastic injection by compiling CNC program and G code
• Trialed the design and plastic injection machine setup 3 times and produced 100 pieces of plastic products in good quality
Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse Analysis, Northwestern University April 2016 – June 2016
• Investigated and analyzed walkway collapse about the position and cause of failure.
• Generated 3D CAD models of walkway connection structure on CATIA V5; simulated collapse process using ABAQUS
to determine critical stress and deformation and validated the results with the experimental data
• Optimized the connection structure in order to improve the walkway safety; recorded all information into DVP&R
Camry Rollover Analysis in Ls-Dyna, Northwestern University April 2016 – June 2016
• Modified original 2012 Camry front crash FEA model to adapt Camry FEA model for rollover simulation
• Simulated vehicle roof collapse with different initial drop heights, translation velocities, and A/B pillar materials
• Concluded 3 major factors in severity of roof deformation according to the simulation result
Commercial vehicle rear-end accident contribution factor analysis, Tsinghua University February 2015 – May 2015
• Collected 500 pertinent accident investigations from traffic accident database in Beijing, China and extracted effective
information and classified accident data sets into 12 MME factors
• Build binary and multi-nominal logistic regression prediction models using R and performed pruning to increase prediction
accuracy from 75% to 87 %
