Summary

As a recent chemical engineering graduate, I have experience working in various laboratory settings and independently completing experimental projects with successful outcomes. I am always enthusiastic and interested in exploring new areas. I understand the tasks required for master's or PhD students and have collaborated with them in research. I possess strong teamwork and communication skills and am adept at independently completing assigned tasks. My English proficiency allows me to communicate effectively in the U.S., with a recent TOEFL score of 110.My Senior design project also provided me with extensive experience in process engineering and real-life problems

Work History

Intern

China National Tourism Administration-Luoyang Base
05.2024 - Current
  • Demonstrated excellent communication skills and near-native proficiency in English listening and speaking
  • Translated documents from Chinese to English.
  • Applied cultural understanding to discern specific meanings beyond literal written words.

Senior Design Project

Dealcholization of Beer
05.2023 - 05.2024
  • We independently designed a chemical engineering system consisting of a water pump, pipelines, gauges, indicators, and a membrane contactor.
  • Using the principle of reverse osmosis, we reduced the alcohol content of beer from 5% while preserving its original flavor to the maximum extent. GC analysis and taste tests showed that our samples retained 99% of the original flavor.
  • In this year-long project, I demonstrated my skills in researching information, managing project timelines, calculating and assembling experimental equipment, and proficiency in engineering experimental projects.
  • Currently, this project has been taken over by the university and is in discussions for collaboration with a local brewery.

Undergrad Researcher

Dr Adam Printz's Research Lab
09.2022 - 05.2024
  • I have conducted research on the molecular phenomena that underpin stability and performance in next-generation, printable electronic materials for applications in renewable energy such as solar photovoltaics and solar fuels.alongside graduate students.
  • We use the complementary approaches of benchtop experiments with simulations to provide deeper understanding of material behavior spanning length scales from molecules-to-devices.
  • We aim to develop inherently scalable processes to enable the swift commercialization of these next-generation technologies.
  • Ability to operate electrospinning mechine to generate nanofiber from different polymers.
  • My personal research project was to explore the properties of nanofibers generated from different polymers, such as PEO, PVA, and Nylon-6,6, including their heat resistance and acid resistance, as well as their performance when applied to our perovskite materials.

Lab Assistant

Dr Minying Cai's Research Lab
05.2023 - 09.2023
  • This laboratory primarily focuses on chemical sciences. We prepare chemical agents to combat cancer.
  • My responsibilities included assisting with laboratory tasks, preparing solutions, and conducting various chemical syntheses.
  • "I had to provide weekly laboratory reports to the professor, organize meetings, and handle safety inspections.

Intern

Fresh, LVMH
05.2022 - 09.2022
  • Analyzed problems and worked with teams to develop solutions.
  • Gained valuable experience working within a specific industry, applying learned concepts directly into relevant work situations.
  • I have conducted research on the cosmetics and skincare theory, specifically on how to achieve more efficient skin penetration.
