EXPERIENCE
§
Graduate Research Assistant 08/08 – current
Intelligent
Machine Dynamics Lab (IMDL), Georgia Tech. Advisor: Dr. Wayne J. Book. Working
on control algorithm and improvements of novel human-computer haptic interface Digital Clay, a fluidic driven pin array
for display and editing surface. Performed measurements with
displacement, pressure and force sensors. Implemented digital controls
algorithm in RT Linux host computer. Currently
developing a novel observer-based force control of novel human-computer haptic interface Digital Clay, a fluidic
driven pin array for display and editing surface. Implemented digital controls
algorithm in RT Linux host computer.
§ Advanced Mechatronics Class 01/09 –05/09
Project-based class. Conceived, designed, developed and tested
a fully-working Anti-Lock Braking System for a commuter bicycle. Microprocessor
controlled portable pneumatic actuation to reduce braking force as wheels are
skidding. Incorporated hall-effect speed sensing and accelerometer to sense
skid condition.
§
Worked
closely with research engineer in first-hand designing and manufacturing system
on package (SOP) microelectronics substrate. Operation with chemical machining
(photolithography, laminating, etching, plating) and CNC micromachining (micro
drilling, micro milling). Worked part-time for 20
hours per week while taking classes.
§
Automation and Motion Control Class 08/07 –12/07
Exposed to
motion control and applications in hydraulic, electrical and mechanical
systems. Hands-on
working experience with real-time controllers such as xPC
target, PLC (programmable logic controller) and LabVIEW.
Performed system modeling, simulation, command shaping, and
behavior analysis to design problem.
§
Undergraduate Research 01/07 – 05/07
Multi-disciplinary
designing of vehicle chassis for utility vehicle. Provided a complete guidance in
chassis design. Worked closely with faculty member in
performing structural analysis and optimization on chassis model using CAE
computer software. Presented outcome and research result in GT Savannah
Undergraduate Research Fair 2007.
