About
I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate (graduting in Summer 2026) in the Structures, Mechanics & Materials program at the University of Michigan, working at the Deployable and Reconfigurable Structures Lab led by Prof. Evgueni Filipov. Before joining UMich, I got a M.S. degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a B.E. degree from Chongqing University (joint program by CQU & NUS), both in Mechanical Engineering.
My main research interests include multi-functional metamaterials, flexible structures, soft robotics, and nonlinear dynamics and control. I'm currently working on a project on Functional 3D Woven Structures and Metamaterials. You can check out more on my publications page and projects page.
