I work on the thermophysical properties of nanomaterials, with a particular focus on understanding and engineering thermal transport in 2D materials and their heterostructures.

My research combines molecular dynamics simulations with machine-learned potentials and first-principles calculations to uncover the microscopic mechanisms behind heat flow — and to design materials with tailored thermal behaviors for next-generation electronic and energy devices.

I received my Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics from the South China University of Technology (SCUT) in 2023, advised by Prof. Qiang Han. Along the way, I spent a year as a visiting Ph.D. researcher at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, working with Prof. Masahiro Nomura — an experience that shaped much of how I think about this field.

This site is where I share my work, thoughts, and occasional notes from the research trenches. Feel free to look around, and don't hesitate to reach out! 🤗
