My main research interests focus on: 1) characterisation and multi-scale modelling of advanced lightweight materials (aluminium, titanium, composite etc); 2) advanced forming technologies for the large thin-walled components with high performance in the aerospace industry.

I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Zhejiang University (China), then qualified the PhD degree at Imperial College London, supervised by Professor Jianguo Lin (Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK), a famous expert in metals modelling and forming.

More than 20 research papers have been published in the recent 5 years, including high impact papers in the top journals in forming and manufacturing field, such as Int. J. Plast., Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf., and in the materials aspect, such as Mater Des, Mater Sci Eng A.

The best paper prize in the 5^th International Conference of New Forming Technologies (ICNFT, 2018), Germany.
