EXPERIENCE
Research Student University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Sept 2014-Dec 2014
Research on solution reconstruction of HDG (hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method) with RT
(Raviart-Thomas) basis (one type of polynomial space designed for

2. nite element method) under
the direction of Prof. Fidkowski.
Apply dierent methods to embed the global RT space element into the reference RT space.
The methods include the shadow element method.
For 2nd order curve, found the minimum test function space needed to check whether the local
H1 solution recover global H(div;
) solution.
Research Assistant University of Michigan, Ann Arbor June 2014-August 2014
Research on solution reconstruction of HDG under the direction of Prof. Fidkowski.
Analysed the dierence of the performance of in element states and interface state in
capturing low and high frequency signal.
Developed a function mapping the in element state to the interface state which has incor-
porated the wind direction (upwind/downwind).
Multiple tests have been conducted with our group's in house code XFLOW.

3. Project leader Shanghai Jiao Tong University May 2013-August 2013
Research on how the blade tip roughness aects the TLF (tip leakage
ow) of jet turbine under the
direction of Prof. Qiang Zhang.
Designed a scaled up system which is able to capture the physics with the original system
(length scale 10mm) by keeping Ma same
Designed a subsonic wind tunnel
Cooperated with other students designed the shadowgraph optical system
Conduct multiple tests on this new system in our transonic wind tunnel
Teaching Assistant Shanghai Jiao Tong University May 2013-August 2013
Assist Prof. Qiang Zhang in teaching VM335 Heat Transfer class. Duties include:
Bi-weekly Recitation class
Weekly Oce hour
Exam/homework grading
Coordinate and teach experiment class which is about heat conduction and heat convection
I have also given a lecture on how to use Pointwise and ANSYS for students who are interested in
the application aspect of the class.
Student SIEMENS, Shanghai May 2013-August 2013
Cooperate with other students to design and build a prototype for a DC motor driven IGV (inlet
gas vane) control system for SIEMENS to substitute the old AC motor driven system. The project
has successfully met requirements set by SIEMENS of 2 sec response time and 2000 RMB budget
Set up the dynamics model of the IGV system
Cooperate with another student to set up the SIMULINK program
Cooperate with other students doing a series of tests to determine the parameters for our PID
system
Team leader University of Michigan Jan 2013-May 2013
Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Propulsion Outreach Program
Lead a 4-member team to design a turbo-prop system to exploit the energy of the exhaust gas. We
have

4. nally designed a turbo-prop system with turbine blades and propellers. The project is advised
by Prof. Smith.
Design the shape of propellers with MIT in house Matlab code
Apply 3D printing technology to build a prototype
Design and set up a test stand with blowing machine
Conduct multiple cold
ow test. Postprocess the data to get the thrust by the momentum
theory
