I am a Ph.D. student in Department of Aeronautical Structural Engineering. I expect to receive my PhD degree in July 2009 from Northwestern Polytechnical University. This university features as a top 10 engineering universities in China. My dissertation is on active/passive vibration control with piezoceramics. Part of my work has been published in an international peer-reviewed journal (“Vibration suppression of a hard disk driver actuator arm using piezoelectric shunt damping with a topology optimized PZT transducer” in Journal of Smart Materials and Structures).
