OBJECTIVE

I seek a research position involving renewable energy system, fluid dynamics and plasma physics, including computational fluid dynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics, computational plasma physics, electromagnetic phenomena, plasma communications, and renewable energy. My doctoral research focuses on a mitigation scheme for the communication blackout problem by using the electromagnetic, ExB layer. This is also related to plasma sheath, Hall Effect thruster modeling/design, CFD, MHD, and hypersonic flow. The area of my specialties are thermodynamics, physics modeling, MHD applications, fluid/plasma dynamics, flow control, propulsion, heat transfer, computational fluid dynamics(CFD), magneto hydrodynamics (MHD), hypersonic flow, and electric propulsion. I enjoy challenging problems that have practical application.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Post Doctoral

Research Fellow

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan                                              2009 ~ Present

Responsible for research in the MHD parachute for entry mission into planets with thin atmospheres, such as Mars.

Research Assistant

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan                                        2008 ~ 2009. May

Responsible for research in the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program: PSAAP with Stanford University. The plasma manipulation scheme by using an ExB layer has many applications for a hypersonic/reentry vehicle and the semiconductor industry. In the hypersonic/reentry vehicle, plasma manipulation can provide a possible solution of radio blackout problem and be used for flow control. The MHD (Magneto-HydroDynamics) is an extremely complicated simulation area but it is very important because of experiment limitations.

Research Assistant

Responsible for the research project entitled ReEntry hypersonic vehicle plasma Communication system: ReComm (May. 2006 ~ May, 2008), sponsored by the U.S. Air Force. I developed a model for ExB layer simulation for the ReComm project. The simulation code was developed to optimize the ExB layer. I demonstrated that ReComm can solve the radio blackout problem reliably and effectively.
