Coordinated with project engineers in material design, construction scheduling, and cost estimation - Reviewed technical blueprints and supervised concrete on-site construction

Coordinated with 10 professors in 15 sustainability-related projects, presenting in outreach events to raise environmental awareness - Co-hosted Harvest Festival (250 attendants), raising $1400 for UMSFP and promoting healthy living

Taught a core course in Civil Engineering (Reinforced Concrete Structure Design) - Coordinated with the faculty in student activities

* Collaborated with 4 post-docs in a consulting project for a medical technology start-up, providing insights into medical procedures, market size, and target market for an optimal value proposition * Analyzed competitive landscape to help client determine key competitors and potential partners * Conducted interviews and customer analytics to recommend product design improvements

* Organized weekly case interview preps and events (e.g. resume/interview workshop, consulting panel) for graduate students across 19 UM schools/colleges to prepare for consulting career * Collaborated with e-board members to recruit sponsors and secure funding ($3000) for MGCC events * Co-hosted MGCC 2015 Case Competition with 60 attendants from 7 universities in the Midwest

Instructed and graded 6 Civil Engineering lab sections (110 students in total), teaching students to use software to analyze structures and draw blueprints more quickly and accurately - 100% of students increased problem-solving and design skills after the course, 70% graded the instructor as excellent

Organized monthly events to help graduate students enhance professional skills and prepare for future careers (e.g. CV/resume workshop, industry panels, programming workshops) - Strengthened the female engineers network through mentorship program and networking events, connecting 100+ female students with role models to empower them to succeed - Connected GradSWE with 5 student organizations to expand the impacts on students’ lives

Performed computational simulation (i.e., finite element analysis, coupling thermal and structural analysis) to accurately predict the performance of structures in fire, resulting in cost saving for fire experiment (~$60,000) in research - Developed simplified models for large-scaled structural analysis to reduce computational time by 90%, resulting in a faster design method for building collapse mitigation - Published 3 first-author peer-reviewed papers (2 international conferences and 1 journal)
