Personal profile
Personal profile
I gained my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2018. After that, I became a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Oxford. In 2022, I joined the University of Twente as an assistant professor in the research group of Computational Design of Structural Materials.
I specialize in the computational analysis of materials and structures, with particular focus on multi-scale materials and multi-physics problems. This has broad engineering applications ranging from the power generating industry to micromechanical materials.
Research interests
My research focuses on understanding the behaviour of materials under extreme environments, such as radiation damage or high temperatures.
I work to develop predictive, microstructurally informed multiscale and multi-physics computational models, to advance the understanding of the microstructure-property-performance relationship of metallic materials; So that to investigate the degree to which microstructures are tunable to support the engineering of manufactured materials for temperature and radiation resistance.
