     SEEKING ACADEMIC POSITION IN NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL VIBRATION
     ===========================================================

Dear Sir

    I have just graduated (this August) with my doctoral degree from the
the Dept. of Engineering Science and Mechanics at the Penn State Univ.

    I am currently teaching full time in one of the Penn State branch
campus, and working on research matter at the same time. Due to the
temporary nature of my appointment with the Penn State, I am still
seeking for a position in academia where I can teach and conduct
research at the same time.

     My research areas cover basic research in nonlinear and stochastic
dynamical systems analyses. My personal vita is given below for your
reference. Please do not hesitate to contact for any further information
needed. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
