Associate

• May 2022 - Present

Graduate Student Researcher

• Jan 2021 - May 2022

- Advised by Prof. Iris D. Tommelein at Production Systems Laboratory (P2SL) in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. • Explored BIM VDC software capabilities in terms of data accuracy, tracking, visualization, and automation. • Evaluated lean construction methods on leveling workloads across trades in construction processes, and apply work space zoning for takt planning to find the optimal solution to unbalanced work density problem. • Developed user interface to input work density datasets to the Workload Leveling and Zoning (WoLZo) Model.

Seismic Design Competition Build Team Lead

• Aug 2019 - May 2020

• Constructed design proposal for the scaled balsa wood model featuring the seismic load resisting system. • Performed laser cutting on wood panels to obtain various sizes of the beam, braces, columns, and shear wall. • Built model by aligning and gluing wood structural members to achieve the goal of no collapse when being tested with two different seismic ground motions, and the model successfully passed the tests. • Constructed design proposal for the scaled balsa wood model featuring the seismic load resisting system. • Performed laser cutting on wood panels to obtain various sizes of the beam, braces, columns, and shear wall. • Built model by aligning and gluing wood structural members to achieve the goal of no collapse when being tested with two different seismic ground motions, and the model successfully passed the tests.

Research Assistant

• May 2019 - May 2020

The Smart Wind Engineering Research Facility Project• Analyzed wind speed data from wind towers at National Wind Technology Center using MATLAB, and studied wind patterns using python and data visualization tools to find possible thunderstorms.• Tracked thunderstorms’ paths near Champaign, assembled and deployed mobile wind testing tower to monitor and collect the data of wind speed and patterns.Lodging Wind Speed of Corn Stalks Estimation Project• Performed 3-point bending test on corn stalks by utilizing bending test machines (MTS).• Evaluated bending data and falling patterns to relate wind load influence on corns based on varying corn growth stages, on/off node ruptures, and stalk’s moisture content.
