He received the PhD degree in Advanced Mechanical Engineering and Robotics from Ritsumeikan University, Shiga, Japan in 2014. He is an associate professor at School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University from 2014. He is now leading research projects by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and he is the author of more than 40 peer-reviewed papers. His research interest is in mechanical behavior and fatigue damage of materials. Now he makes efforts to study: (1) Mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of structural materials; (2) Non-destructive testing method based on mechanoresponsive luminogen.
