I am a researcher specializing in the entire lifecycle of mechanical systems—from fundamental nanomaterial synthesis and manufacturing to AI-driven optimization. By integrating deep mechanical domain knowledge with AI technologies, I develop high-performance solutions across diverse fields, including Advanced Energy Storage, Intelligent Metastructures, and Aerospace/Robotic Actuators.
Beyond the lab, I am a positive-minded leader who believes that "True innovation stems from physical resilience." To sustain this drive, I challenge myself through CrossFit and Diving.
