My research focuses on multi-scale, multi-physics topology optimization of structures, flexoelectric effects, structural design of high-speed trains, computational homogenization, isogeometric analysis, energy harvesting, and deep learning; I have published 22 papers in  international journals such as CMAME, SMO, MSSP, IJSS, and ES (including 10 papers in journals ranked in the top 5% by impact factor); I serve as a reviewer for authoritative international journals including 'Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering', 'Journal of Applied Physics', 'International Journal of Mechanical Sciences', and 'FEA&D'; I also serve as a Young Editorial Board Member for the  'Journal of Railway Science and Technology'; I has led projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Hunan Provincial Youth Fund,  and three industry-sponsored projects (simulation analysis and topological optimization design of key train components such as car bodies and bogies).
