Pittsburgh, PA, US

• Developed a predictive model based on shape features, hemodynamics and patient clinical data to predict the rupture risk of aneurysms
• Built a Deep Learning model (CNN) to process micro-structural images of collagen fibers and directly predict the tissue elastic mechanical properties with a classification accuracy of 83%
• Developed a structure-based mathematical model and fitted the model using experimental data by self-developed nonlinear regression code
• Designed and improved mechanical testing devices, and developed new testing protocols to characterize the properties of cerebral arterial tissues and assess their rupture risk
• Collaborated with clinicians, pathologists, research scientists and computational specialists

Pittsburgh, PA, US

• Teaching Assistant of class Mechanical Measurement
• Led weekly mechanical measurement lab of eight groups, assisted students to acquire fundamentals of mechanical measurements
• Instructed final project on design and construction of a sensor to measure the lift force of an airfoil. The project includes design and fabrication of force transducer, development of signal conditioning circuitry.
• Evaluated homework, exams and project reports

• Designed the testing protocol to study the effects of a novel drug-device therapy on vascular disease, and performed the experiments
• Assessed the effects of this therapy on mechanical properties and structure of arterial tissue
