Advisors I've Worked With

• Professor James H. Williams, Jr.: My current Ph.D. thesis advisor. In many senses, more than that. His titles include: MIT's Charles Hopewell Faculty Fellow, School of Engineering Professor of Teaching Excellence.
• Professor Triantaphyllos R. Akylas: My Ph.D. thesis committee member. His titles include: Associate Technical Editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics, recipient of Presidential Young Investigator Award.
• Professor Henrik Schmidt: My Ph.D. thesis committee member. His titles include: Associate Head of Department of Ocean Engineering at MIT, fellow of Acoustical Society of America, and member of Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
• Professor Y. J. Weitsman: I worked with him as a Ph.D. student for about 2 years working in a project sponsored by ONR about the composite material behaviors under deep sea. His titles include: Distinguished Scientist jointly appointed by University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, editorial board member of the Journal of Composite Materials.
• Professor Rohan Abeyratane: I worked with him as a teaching assistant in MIT mechanical engineering course Dynamics. His titles include: Associated Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, Associate Technical Editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics, MIT's Den Hartog Distinguished Educator.
• Professor ShuangYin Zhang: My Master thesis advisor. His titles include: Vice Chairman of Chinese Society of Composite Materials; Associate Editor-in-Chief of the (Chinese) Journal of Composite Materials.
• Professor XiuXi Wang: My Bachelor thesis advisor. His titles include: Associate Head of the Department of Modern Mechanics at the University of Science and Technology of China.
