I was born in Chengdu (Sichuan Province), one of the most livable cities in China known for mouth-watering spicy food, peoples's unusual passions in Mahjone and cute Pandas. I moved to Beijing in 2008 for my undergraduate education and obtained my B.S. degree in Materials Science from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2012. Then I moved to Worcester, a small city in Massachusetts, and obtained M.S. in Materials Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2014. After that, I came to Temple University in Phiadelphia and pursued my PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Jie Yin. My research focuses on developing multi-scale soft machines, mechanics and design of mechanical metamaterials, as well as developing high-work-density artificial muscles. Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart under the supervision of Prof. Metin Sitti.
Since June 2021, I will join Tongji University as a full Professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering.
