I work as an assistant professor in the School of Mathematical Science at University of Science and technology of China. I work with Prof. Falai Chen, Prof. Ligang Liu, and Prof. Xiao-Ming Fu. Before that, I earned my Ph.D. from University of Science and technology of China, advised by Prof. Falai Chen and Prof. Jun Wu (TU Delft). I have visited the Chinese University of Hong Kong for 1 year and Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands for 18 months. My research focus on topology optimization and advanced manufacturing.
