Dear Sirs,

I completed my PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in July this year. 
I am able to develop computer applications in engineering as well as perform
mechanical design and analysis.  

My studies have concentrated on Computational Mechanics.  Through my studies,
I have developed several simple and effective parallel algorithms for 
numerical analysis.  In addition, I have implemented and developed computer 
applications for Contour Plotting, Finite Element Analysis and Computer 
Graphics/Animation.

My experiences in design and numerical modeling were from working with
Giannotti Engineering.  I involved in projects from Naval 
Civil Engineering Lab.

I am seeking full-time employment, but I would be happy to accept
a part-time position, if one is available, while waiting for a 
permanent spot to open up. If my background seems valuable to 
you, I would enjoy hearing from you regarding a possible position.


Sincerely yours,

Kai-Ping
