It's been great!
I work with Prof. Ronald K. Hanson to acquire a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering (also a Ph.D. minor in Electrical engineering). My research interests are:
Fundamental spectroscopy, especially in absorption intensities/opacities and line shapes
Optical sensing solutions for environmental and industrial pollutant monitoring
And my coursework focus on:
Mechanical engineering: combustion, energy system, chemical kinetics, physical gas dynamics, plasma
Electrical engineering: spectroscopy, semiconductor fabrication, quantum mechanics, optics, lasers, photonics, digital signal processing, convex optimization, machine learning
Nonequilibrium Process in High-Temperature Gases (ME 362B, Winter 2021)
Held weekly problem/review sessions to supplement the lectures as well as office hours to assist the students
Prepared homework, exams, and solutions for the course
Optical Diagnostics and Spectroscopy Laboratory (ME 367, Spring 2018/2019)
Designed and led the lab sessions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
Studied towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering
Advised by Dr. Euiwon Bae (at Applied Optics Laboratory) to develop laser-based inspection solutions with speckle analysis for monitoring the PVD-growth of nanomaterials
Advised by Prof. Robert P. Lucht (at the Lucht Group) to study CH4/CO2/air premixed flames via Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) thermometry and one-dimensional COSILAB numerical simulations
Boiler Up!
Studied towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering & Automation
Advised by Prof. Yixi Zhao under the Participation in Research Program, to study the bending/rolling process of advanced high strength steel with ABAQUS simulations
Accepted in the Dual-Degree 2+2 Program in ME of SJTU and Purdue University
