Primarily responsible for the design and optimization of thermal management solutions for traction electric motors at Delta Electronics using modeling and CFD simulation in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

Us

Researched techniques, materials, and methods using multi-scale heat transfer physics and thermal engineering to develop a new strategy to control thermal transport. Employed a wide range of simulation and computational methods including CFD, MD, pattern recognition, and machine learning (ML).Key Contributions:- Designed a new mechanism in graphene/semiconductor system configurations to improve heat dissipation by 50% through mechanical control of thermal transport. - Improved aluminum alloys life-cycle by 30% through machine learning and big data analysis technique and optimization using thermal FEA simulations. - Stablished interpersonal and technical excellent communication skills (written and verbal) through authoring 7 journal papers, co-authoring 5 proposals, and several conference presentations as well as 3 multi-disciplinary collaboration projects.

• Received promotion to the deputy of the onsite thermal commissioning office in only six months as part of more than 60 engineers. • Spearheaded the commissioning management software development that dramatically reduced costs and commissioning process time by 25%. - Designed test plans based on working conditions and technical specifications of pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, etc. - Accelerated commissioning process by engaging in more direct meetings and negotiations with vendors and contractors.

Adeptly involved in thermal design engineering project including detailed chemical kinetics coupled with CFD simulation of internal combustion engines as well as FEM mechanical simulation of parts. • Increased fuel efficiency by 5% as a part of the R&D team by optimizing engine cycle design parameters using genetic algorithms. • Experienced full product design for manufacturing (DFM) process in a highly successful cross-functional team. • Expertly identified issues and technically supported the manufacturing team by providing key design parameters. • Tasked with carrying out vital performance and mechanical testing of equipment, analyzing results to optimize the system performance based on the project requirements and documentation. • Developed code using FORTRAN to include detailed chemical kinetics as well as heat and mass transfer in the engine simulation package.
