Personal Profile

He pursued studies at three top-tier universities in China and conducted academic visits at four German U9 universities. Integrating the rigorous abstraction of mathematics and mechanics, the versatility of electronics and control, the infinite variability of materials and chemical engineering, and the profound depth of mechanical processing, he established the Intelligent Suspension and Tire Laboratory at Tsinghua University and built its academic team.

He excels in driving interdisciplinary academic innovation and cross-domain product development through systems thinking, honing complex system innovation capabilities with extensive project management experience and PMP certification.

In recent years, he has focused on innovative theory and practice in intelligent suspension and tires, as well as smart materials and devices, aiming to mentor students in achieving breakthroughs from fundamental theoretical innovation to product innovation that addresses critical technological bottlenecks. Leveraging his cross-cultural academic experience and interdisciplinary background, he has cultivated an international, human-centered, innovative, and entrepreneurial academic team. The team has incubated two national high-tech enterprises, serving over 100 leading automotive and component companies. Additionally, many of his graduate students have received departmental and university-level awards for outstanding research, and team members pursuing overseas studies have primarily chosen institutions in Germany and Europe.
