I am currently a Mechanical Engineer working at JR Automation Technologies, LLC. Established in 1980, JR Automation
Technologies is a global leading integrator and provider of intelligent
automated technologies and manufacturing solutions that solve customers’ key
operational and productivity challenges. JR serves customers across the globe
in a variety of industries, including Tier 1 automotive, aerospace, medical
device, pharmaceutical, construction, food processing, consumer products,
environmental and furniture industries, and more. JR has been recognized with
many national awards including Delphi Pinnacle Award for Supplier Excellence,
FANUC Excellence in Intelligent Robotics Award, Toyota Boschoku America –
Excellent Technology Performance Awards, etc. I am currently employing my knowledge of additive manufacturing and advanced robotics on JR Automation's projects that require demanding robot maneuverability, and fully-automated custom assembly lines in automotive and material handling applications. I received my PhD degree (2015) at the
Purdue University, and B.Eng. (2009) at the school of Mechanical Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. My research work are focused on developing multi-directional additive manufacturing technologies and advanced foldable robotic design. The cutting-edge metamorphic structures developed in Origami-based foldable robotic system "Kinetogami" and "HexaMorph" are useful in the needs of building transformable and deployable emergency shelters, exposition venues and satellite structures. I am the project lead of first multi-directional 3D printing technique, called "Revomaker", which significantly reduce the consumption of build and support material and allows embedding design functionalities into printing details. I received the national patent for invention of the PRC (1st inventor) in 2010. The patent consisted of an auxiliary chair device used in automobiles, for assisting people with lower limb disabilities to easily get in and off automobiles. |
