I am an associate professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Tianjin University. My current research interests are focused on mechanical dynamics, especially dynamics of deployable mechanism, and bionics of flapping wing insects. From 2010 to 2012, I did research as a Research Associate at the Department of Precision Instruments and Mechanology, Tsinghua University. From 2016 to 2017, I was an academic visitor at the Department of engineering science, University of Oxford, where I am a member of Prof. Zhong You's Deployable Structure Group. We have accomplished a couple of government and industry-based projects and authored or co-authored more than 30 refereed research papers in the field of mechanical engineering.
