Seeking for research position on prosthetics and biomechanics

Seeking for research position on prosthetics and biomechanics

Dong Yuzhen

11/13/1997

Hello, OANDP-Lers:

I am a postdoctoral fellow on prosthetics in Singapore, my contract will
end next April. Because Singapore is a small country, the research on
prosthetics and biomechanics is not supported enough, I hope to do
research in this area in other country, e.g. Northern America, as a
postdoctoral fellow (The visa will be approved easily by this position)
or research engineer.

I will be very appreciated if you can give me any help.

My RESUME is pasted on the bottom of this email, and a edition in
MS.Word7.0 for Win95 on PC is also attached.


Thank you very much

Your sincerely
Dong Yuzhen

EDUCATION AND RESEARCH BACKGROUND

Apr. 1996---Apr. 1998 Post Doctoral Fellow in Nanyang Technological
  University(NTU) in Singapore. Now, I am studying on a MR(Magneto
  -rheological) damper which is used for prosthetic knee joint control.
  Meanwhile, I am trying to initiate the research of MR fluids
  and its applications for NTU. MR fluids are kind of smart fluids whose

  rheological properties can be changed when a megnetic field is
applied,
  even can be change from liquid state to solid phase in ms.
  AutoCAD V13 is used in work.

Feb. 1991--- Sept. 1995 Ph.D. candidate on Mechanical Engineering in
  Tsinghua University. Studied on human movement dynamics, a 11 rigid
bodies
  system of swing phase and a 12 rigid bodies system of two feet on
ground
  stance phase are investigated and work out the kinematic and dynamic
  model. Developed a new kind of damper(Using ER fluids) used for
  prosthetic knee joint control. With this damper, a intelligent
prosthetic
  lower limb(ER-IPLL) was developed. For the control of ER-IPLL, a
  micro-NC high voltage supply was invented.
  Meanwhile, I also developed a big angular and single direction knee
joint
  with weight self-locking. This knee joint is designed for the disable
  athletes.

Sept.1986 --- Mar.1989 Graduate student on Mechanical And Production
  Engineering in Harbin Institute of Technology, Earned Master degree.
  Worked out a multi-CPU system used for control of filament winding
machine
  which is used to produce rocket motor house for Aerospace Ministry of
  China.

Sept.1982---July, 1986 College student on major of Mechanical And
  Production Engineering at Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Shanghai
  Institute of Mechanical Engineering(It has been renamed as University
for
  Shanghai of Science and Technology) . Awarded Bachelor degree of
  engineering


WORK EXPERIENCE

Apr. 1989---Dec. 1990 Electronic and Industrial Engineer at Dept. of
  Production Engineering of Radofin Electronic (Far East) Ltd., Shenzhen

  Special Economic Zone, P. R. China. Being Responsible for leading a
small
  term of 4 assistant engineer and several technician on test jag design

  and management, line layout design and tools planing, failure
analysis,
  supervising the start-up of new modal includes the PCB line and the
  assembly line, etc.. The main products of this company include
cassette
  recorder, personal computer, electronic toy, etc.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Feb. 1991---Dec. 1993 Dept of Precision Instrument and Mechanology,
Tsinghua University/Beijing. As a assitant lecture for a graduate
course:
Theory of Mechanism.


INTERESTING AND SKILL

Production and Industrial engineering, Mechanical engineering,
Biomechanical engineering and Rehabilitation engineering, smart fluids
and its applications,and management.
