Personal profile

Winner of the National Outstanding Youth Project, excellent young scholar of explosion mechanics, professor and doctoral supervisor of Beijing Institute of Technology. He is mainly engaged in the numerical simulation of structural stability, extreme response and detonation performance of energetic materials. In recent years, he has presided over 8 research projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the installation and Development Department of the Military Commission, and the Science and Technology Commission of the Military Commission. He has published more than 50 academic papers, including 40 as (co-) first/corresponding author in journals such as Science, ACS CS, CEJ, JPCL, PRB, and 3 software Copyrights. He won 1 provincial and ministerial science and Technology Innovation Award and was nominated for "Deng Jiaxian Outstanding Youth Science and Technology Award". He was invited to make more than ten invited presentations at important academic conferences such as the American Physical Society Academic Conference, the International Conference on New Trends in Energetic Materials (NTREM), the National Conference on Explosive Mechanics, and the National Conference on Detonation. He was the deputy editor of the journal Energetic Materials Frontier and the deputy Director of the Youth editorial Board of Energetic Materials.
