Profile

I started my current role, a full-time postdoctoral researcher, in the Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC) at the Univeristy of Leeds from May 2023. The project that I have been working on is 'development of a robotic maintenance system for wind turbine blades' (ROMAIN), where we are aiming to establish a robtics system to provide maintenance service, combining inspectation and repair funcitons, to the wind turbine blades. I am responsible for the investigation of the repair functions, using resistance welding polymer composites techniques. Apart from this, I have also got involved in other research projects:

September 2022 to May 2023, University of Chester, ‘Development of a robotic maintenance system for wind turbine blades' (ROMAIN)’, HORIZON EUROPE.

February 2022 to August 2022, University of Leeds, ‘All cellulose composites’, Norther Triangle Initiative.

I got my PhD in physics in 2022, after the PhD+ programme in the Soft Matter Physics Group, University of Leeds, and aslo a MSc in Polymer Chemistry and Physics and a BEng in Polymer Materials and Engineering in 2017 and 2014, respectively, from Qingdao University of Science and Technology.
