Committed to the preparation technology and application of metal matrix composite basic research, in recent years, mainly carried out graphene, nanoparticle reinforced titanium matrix composite technology principle research, through the introduction of composite configuration to obtain excellent strong-plastic (tough) matching, the development of both strong and tough, structural and functional integration of new metal matrix composite materials. He was awarded the "Excellent doctoral thesis of China Composite Materials Society". As the project leader, he presided over 4 scientific research projects, including the GF Key Laboratory Fund, China Postdoctoral Science Fund and other projects, and participated in several projects such as the key project of the National Nature Foundation, the foundation strengthening project of the Military Science and Technology Commission and the pre-research project of the Ministry of Equipment Development with backbone members. More than 10 SCI indexed papers have been published with one work/newsletter, and 6 patents have been authorized.

1. Interface and configuration design of metal matrix composites;
2. Mechanical behavior research and multi-scale simulation of metal matrix composites;
3. Large plastic deformation process of metal/metal matrix composites

In March 2020, he received his Doctor of Engineering degree from Beijing Institute of Technology

March 2020-June 2022 Postdoctoral Fellow, Beijing Institute of Technology
