Biography

After finishing 5 year undergraduate studies in Tsinghua University, I worked as a system engineer for 2 years in
Hitachi(Beijing, China) and 1 year in a telecommunication company as a software engineering. Then I attended Virginia Tech in the Fall, 2001 and am now an M.S. student in the Mechanical Engineering Department. My current research topic is to design and characterize a piezo-electrical hydraulic pump. Some of my hobbies include play badminton, table-tennis and chess.
