He received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in solid mechanics from the Department of Modern Mechanics, University of Science and Technology of China in 1990, 1996 and 1999 respectively. He was jointly trained at the Karlsruhe Research Center in Germany and the Rutherford Laboratory in the UK from 1997 to 1998. He was a German Humboldt Scholar in 2000 and won the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award for Young Scientists, which was first established by the German government at the Humboldt Foundation in 2001. He established an independent research group at the Institute of Composite Materials, University of Kaiserslautern. In 2005, he returned to China to engage in scientific research at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology. He was the director of the Key Laboratory of Nanosystems and Multi-level Manufacturing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the deputy director of the Beijing Nanomaterials Engineering Technology Research Center. He has been a professor at the Department of Modern Mechanics, School of Engineering Science, University of Science and Technology of China since 2022.

       He is mainly engaged in the research of nanocomposite mechanics and structural and functional integrated nanocomposite application. He has undertaken major projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, key projects of the foundation, major nano research projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, key international cooperation projects and the Nano Pioneer A Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He led the team to develop nanocomposite anti-fouling flash coating materials with long-lasting super-hydrophobic properties and nanocomposite ultra-black materials with extreme light absorption properties, realized engineering applications, and achieved social and economic benefits.

       In 2012, he was funded by the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund, and was awarded the honorary title of 'Advanced Worker of the Chinese Academy of Sciences'. He was selected into the National Hundred Thousand Talents Project, and was awarded the honor of 'Young and Middle-aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions' and enjoys the government allowance of the State Council. He has published more than 250 academic papers, with more than 10,000 citations, an H-index of 55, and more than 50 authorized/applied invention patents. He has been invited to give special reports and invited reports at important international academic conferences many times. He serves as the editor-in-chief of Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing (IF=7.664), a well-known academic journal in the field of international composite materials, and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Journal of Solid Mechanics. He is also an editorial board member of domestic and foreign academic journals such as Acta Mechanica Sinica, Composites Science and Technology, Journal of Composite Materials, Tribology International, and Journal of Composite Materials.
