About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), under the supervision of Prof. Wei-Hsin Liao. I am a recipient of the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). My research focuses on 3D/4D printing, smart materials and structures, and soft robotics. It integrates machine learning-driven design methodologies with additive manufacturing techniques to develop materials with enhanced mechanical performance and adaptability. I am also a visiting scholar at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Shenzhen University (SZU). Before pursuing my Ph.D., I obtained a bachelor's degree from the Sichuan University - Pittsburgh Institute (SCUPI). I have research experience as a Mitacs Globalink Research Intern at McGill University and as a Research Assistant at Westlake University. In addition to research activities, I am a member of ASME, SPIE, and the 4D Printing Society.
