EDUCATION
ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY – Chicago, Illinois December 2013
Master Degree of Science, Materials Science and Engineering; GPA: 4.0 / 4.0
• Courses included: Intro to Ceramic Materials, Materials Laboratory, Diffusion, Fundamentals of Heat Transfer, Electronic, Magnetic & Optical Properties of Materials, Dislocations Strengthening Mechanism, Intro to Polymer Science, Advanced Mechanical Metallurgy and Advanced Physical Metallurgy.
• Completed a project on Electrostatic Spray Deposition (ESD), a process that provides a powerful fabrication route for thin-film components of lithium-ion microbatteries; the surface morphology of ESD films can be easily tailored by varying the precursor solutions and deposition conditions.

Bachelor Degree of Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering; GPA: 3.5 / 4.0
• Courses included: Defect Structure, Materials Chemistry, Materials Physics, Polymer Material, Materials Synthesis & Process, Optoelectronic Materials and Application and Test Method & Equipment.
• Gained hands-on experience with various testing instruments such as AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence).
• Member of Psychological Association, Roller-Blading Association and Arts and Literature Department.
• Received Best Script Award and Third Prize in Poetry & Essay Creation Contest; awarded a scholarship from 2008 – 2009.
LABORATORY EXPERIENCE
Thermal Processing Technology Center, MMAE Department, Illinois Department of Technology
Project: Improve Wear Resistance of Titanium Components by Coating Boron Nitride Thin Film.
• Utilized dip-coating technique to improve wear resistance of titanium; coated titanium with BN ceramic thin film to form multiple layers (TiB2, TiB and TiN) at the surface for increased resistance of the surface.
• Uncovered a new avenue of research, supported theories with data and generated new ideas for others to pursue.
Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials Science and Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology
Project: Tungsten-Doped Vanadium Dioxide Films Deposited on Glass to Provide Automatic Temperature Control.
• Applied magnetron sputtering technique to coat the W-doped VO2 thin film on glass, allowing it to show thermal switching properties at room temperature and act as a “smart window” to regulate temperature.
• Designed all aspects of research project and optimized process of thin film synthesis.
Project: Preparation and Characterization of Metal-Doped Titanium Dioxide Thin Film on Glass for Self-Cleaning.
• Improved photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by doping with vanadium; with abs...
