Personal Profile

Born in April 1972, PhD, professor, doctoral supervisor, and leader of the 10,000 Talent Program. Received a bachelor's degree in solid mechanics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1994, a master's degree in solid mechanics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1997, and a PhD degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in 2002. In 2003, he conducted postdoctoral research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2004, he began to work as a principal researcher at Atlas Scientific, Inc., USA. He was responsible for the development of thermal interface materials based on carbon nanotube arrays. In 2007, he joined the NanoEnergy Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, as an assistant researcher and laboratory manager. In November 2012, he joined the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a researcher. In May 2013, he transferred to the Department of Precision Instruments and Precision Manufacturing, University of Science and Technology of China, as a professor and doctoral supervisor. His main research areas are nanostructure heat transfer characteristics, bionic adhesion materials, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).
