China
Expert is experienced in failure analysis of solid materials and consumer products. Expert has gained experience in failure analysis for electronic and consumer products, such as PCBA, electronic device and components, power supply, toys, solar panels etc., by serving prestigious clients in the industry. Expert has experiences in failure analysis of Lithium-ion and Lithium-ion polymer cells and battery packs by investigation many of such failures.
Prior to joining current consulting firm, Expert was a Technological Supplier Manager with Q-Cells SE, a leading global solar photovoltaic solution provider. Expert coordinated technical cooperation and quality management with the suppliers of solar modules and solar silicon wafers across Asia. He was also involved in exploring photovoltaic system development opportunities in China.
Expert was formerly a Ph.D. research assistant at the Center of Quality Engineering and Failure Prevention at Northwestern University, where he participated in developing an ultrafast ultrasonic system to nondestructively characterize the mechanical and thermal performances of ultrahard coating materials. Expert also obtained a M.S. degree in Acoustics, specifically in Ultrasonics. He has solid knowledge and expertise in ultrasonic inspection and NDT, bulk wave and surface wave tests, wave propagation and acoustics.
Expert specializes in mechanical testing and failure analysis of solid materials based on his academic research and practical engineering experiences. Having an in-depth understanding of mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties of materials, Expert has extensive experience in the nondestructive evaluation, health monitoring, and mechanical testing of various materials, including composites, alloys, coatings, and polymers. Expert’s background also includes experience in the acoustics, micro-fabrication, stress analysis, and engineering dynamics of materials.
