• Wrote nonlinear constrained optimization solvers in MATLAB and developed topology optimization algorithms that use these solvers to optimize the design of truss structures considering combinations of mass, stiffness, stress and buckling strength metrics. • Incorporated constructability metrics into topology optimization formulation to produce structurally efficient designs that are readily constructible. • Investigated the impacts of geometric irregularities such as twisting, tilting, tapering and free-form on the seismic performance of tall buildings.• Modeled the tapered John Hancock Tower in STAAD.PRO to study the impact of tapering on the seismic performance of the tower.

• Led lectures and active-learning exercises in a class of 20 high school students on introductory topics from different engineering disciplines such as materials selection, stress and strain relationships, equilibrium, electronics logic gates, and chemical processes during the four-week intensive college-preparatory summer program. • Guided students in preparing and conducting their lab experiments together with a teaching fellow.

• Prepared clear, coherent, organized, and visually compelling lecture slides for four class periods in the graduate-level course, Topology Optimization and Design for Additive Manufacturing.• Articulated and delivered lectures on the basic concepts and the existing methods utilized in the topology optimization of trusses, and the challenges associated with the stress and stability constraints in optimizing the topology of structures.

• Prepared and provided short lecture presentations on relevant background concepts and theories as well as lab procedures before conducting each experiment in the undergraduate-level Statics and Mechanics of Materials lab. • Mentored student groups to conduct their lab experiments in accurate and systematic ways to achieve reasonable experimental results. • Provided guidance to students on how to write their lab reports in professional and organized manners and graded their lab reports based on the guided rubric. • Explained basic mechanics topics and concepts during TA office hours to help them accomplish their weekly homework assignments as well as mid-term exams, graded homework problem sets, and provided feedback accordingly.

-Designed steel columns encased in reinforced concrete for the proposed parking garage facility to span over the Terminal level tracks at the Washington Union Station. -Designed new X-bracing and their connections at the existing duct support structure, metal deck at the Coal Elevator opening in the roof, handrails, posts and post base connections, and concrete infill wall to withstand soil and rail live load for the reconstruction of the Norfolk Southern Locomotive Shop in Juniata. -Designed a concrete foundation slab and reinforcement details for the new transmission and switch structures in Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia.-Performed preliminary engineering and construction engineering reviews on the detailed design, construction and/or demolition plan drawings of several bridge structures.

• Modeled twelve different structural steel frames in MASTAN2 and performed their stability assessment analyses based on a newly modified procedure, namely the Modified Direct Analysis Method (MDM), which expands the existing AISC Direct Analysis Method (DM). • Prepared MATLAB programs to run geometric and material non-linear computational analyses for evaluating the stability of structural steel frames. • Composed an honor thesis on this research topic and successfully defended the thesis in April 2014.

• Designed a truss steel bridge and its connections in a team of nine senior undergraduate students, following provided dimension constraints and competition rules. • Cut, drilled, and welded steel pieces to fabricate the steel bridge together.

• Graded homework assignments for statics (ENGR 200), mechanics of materials (ENGR 208) and material science (ENGR 240) courses in Spring 2011, Fall 2011, and Spring 2012 respectively.• Wrote homework solutions to be posted on Blackboard, recorded grades of each student in grading spreadsheets, and provided feedback to professors on students' strengths and struggles.
