MICHAEL PRASETIO CHANG

Motivated BSc Graduate in Materials Science & Engineering with hands-on experience in materials synthesis, processing, and characterization testings. Proficient working in research in a laboratory environment. Eager to apply my skills and knowledge to contribute in cutting-edge advancements in the field, enthusiastic about exploring new materials and technologies and make a positive impact.
 

Engineering Intern (2021) at BMW, working on car assembly, vehicle body engineering, and measurement and testing. Gained broad knowledge and experience in the general manufacturing environment and the automotive industry. 
 
Engineering Intern (2022) at BMW, this time focusing on experimental work on the cold joining technique half-hollow self-piercing riveting, one of the main joining technologies used in the car body engineering for BMW vehicles. Gained skills working with metal materials including sample preparation, metallographic analysis, measurement, and data evaluation. 

University education in Materials Science & Engineering, with specialized knowledge in metals, ceramics, and polymers, plus other scientific fields including chemistry, physics, mechanical and electrical engineering. Completed two projects during the study, working both individually and in teams, on a Finite Element Analysis project and another in the energy and process engineering field. Researching and writing a thesis on the powder synthesis, processing and additive manufacturing (Direct Ink Writing/Robocasting) of a novel bioceramics, with focus on developing the mechanical, biological and dielectrical properties of the material to produce a new high-quality material for application in the bone-tissue engineering.
