My Website

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Xiaobo Yin’s group （尹晓波教授）at The University of Hong Kong, and will join Beijing Institute of Technology, Zhuhai （北京理工大学珠海校区）in July as a Teli Young Scholar （特立青年学者）in the group led by Prof. Haibo Jin （金海波教授）. My research revolves around radiative heat transfer—an obsession that began with my training in engineering thermophysics at Xi’an Jiaotong University and grew under the generous guidance of Prof. Christopher Chao （赵汝恒教授）and Prof. Xiaobo Yin.

I work on optical and thermal materials that help buildings, cities, and people manage heat more intelligently: from energy-saving façades and urban canyon cooling to textiles that keep us cooler in summer and warmer in winter. While many of my projects are application-driven, I am equally fascinated by the fundamental optics and thermodynamics behind thermal radiation. Curiosity is my main fuel: I enjoy asking how heat, light, and materials conspire to shape the world around us. And when that curiosity leads to technologies that may actually make life better, that is the best bonus.

Outside the lab, I enjoy traveling, watching films, and spending time with my lovely two-year-old son. I am also trying to become fitter and healthier—slowly, hopefully, and with only occasional negotiations with desserts.
