I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Hebei University of Technology in June 2021, and my doctoral dissertation was honored as an "Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of Tianjin." Following this, I pursued postdoctoral research at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University. After completing my postdoc in December 2024, I joined the faculty as a Lecturer. My primary research focuses on wireless power transfer technology and its applications in engineering electromagnetics.


I've led a project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Young Scientists Fund) and have been a key contributor to multiple significant projects, including major research programs and general projects under the National Natural Science Foundation of China. I am an IEEE Senior Member and a Senior Member of the Chinese Electrotechnical Society. I was selected for the China Association for Science and Technology's Young Talent Incubation Project and have received prestigious recognitions such as the Silver Award in the 1st National Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, being named an "Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow in Innovation and Entrepreneurship" nationwide, and a "Zhengyan Young Scholar" by Tsinghua University's Department of Electrical Engineering. In recent years, I have authored over 40 academic papers, including 5 ESI Highly Cited Papers and 1 Hot Paper. Notably, as the first author, I received the First Prize for Best Paper in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics in 2022.
