Postdoctoral Research Fellow · Fudan University

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Computational Mechanics × AI, Fudan University. My research develops physics-informed and data-driven methods for fatigue life prediction, reliability assessment, and performance degradation analysis of complex engineering systems, combining computational mechanics, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, and finite element analysis.

I received my Doctor of Engineering in Electronic Information from Fudan University in 2026, with a Master of Aeronautical Engineering (2022) and a Bachelor of Safety Engineering (2018) from Northwestern Polytechnical University. My work has appeared in journals including International Journal of Fatigue, Aerospace Science and Technology, Engineering Failure Analysis, and Propulsion and Power Research. I welcome collaborations in fatigue and fracture, reliability analysis, uncertainty quantification, and AI-assisted engineering simulation.
