Research Experience:
University of Delaware, Ph.D. 08/2005 – 05/2010
Research Assistant in Electromagnetics Lab, supervised by Dr. Daniel S. Weile (Senior member of IEEE)
• Wrote C++ and MATLAB code for 2D MoM and FEM (used higher-order Lagrangian basis functions for scattering problems and EM field modeling in waveguides).
• Wrote C++ and MATLAB code for 3D MoM and time-domain integral equations (TDIEs) using higher-order divergence-conforming basis functions (vector spatial basis functions) and bandlimited interpolation functions (temporal basis functions) for electromagnetic scattering problems for conductive and dielectric bodies.
• Proposed and realized finite difference delay modeling (FDDM) method, and wrote C++ code for the stabilization techniques and the fast methods (fast Fourier transform, FFT) to accelerate the temporal convolution.
• Applied the differential equations theory using numerical methods (backward difference formulas (BDFs), Runge-Kutta methods) to realize the stability and improve the convergence of FDDM.
• Finished the projects of designing the antenna arrays (using FEKO for simulation) for angle of arrival (AoA) estimation, which is used to determine the location and orientation of a projectile.
• Researched on the 3D orientation measurement using the wireless angular position sensors (a system equipped with multiple waveguides), and provided the guidelines for the design.
• Successfully served as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
University of Science and Technology of China, Master. 09/2002 – 07/2005
Research Assistant in Applied Electromagnetic Lab, supervised by Dr. Shanjia Xu (Fellow of IEEE)
• Wrote FORTRAN 90 and MATLAB code for mode matching method combining the network equivalent theory to compute the leakage and propagation constants for different kinds of waveguides (groove guide, image guides, and non-radiative dielectric (NRD) guide, microstrip, etc.) used for the millimeter-wave integrated circuits and leaky-wave antennas.
• Achieved the project to propose a new dielectric waveguide structure named partially dielectric slab-loaded channel guide using the concept of effective dielectric constant (EDC), improving the leakage suppression in the microwave integrated circuits.
• Successful in applying an innovative method to analyze the propagation and radiation properties of step discontinuity in planar left-handed dielectric waveguides.
