I have gained broad knowledge and skills in mathematical modelling, optimization, thin-walled structures, and smart sensing system, in the subjects of mechanical, sustainable transport, civil and biomedical engineering in my research career.
My innovative design of a biosensing system for biological cell characterization had been received a number of patents (US20120077219A1, WO2011001138A1, etc).
The analytical modelling and optimization methods I developed for variable stiffness panels had attracted over 200 citations and was the Top-3 most-cited paper in Thin-Walled Structure.
