Period		Description		Organization
June 2006 - September 2006		I spent Summer 2006 doing an internship at General Motors Research Labs, where I was involved in developing an integrated life cycle model of a vehicle, which is a very broad project, ranging from quality control and manufacturing to strategy and supply chain management, part of it strongly relates to my Ph.D. dissertation topic -- supply chain resilient research.		General Motors R&D, MSR Lab
June 2003 - September 2003		I spent Summer 2003 doing an internship at Argonne National Lab and worked on the Th-229 project. The final result was submitted as Physics Division Technical Report (PHY-10990-ME-2004): Search for a low-lying 3.5-eV isomeric state in Th-229.		Argonne National Lab
