Vice Dean of the Industrial Design Research Institute at Nanchang University, Secretary of the Faculty Party Branch of the Industrial Design Department, PhD candidate jointly trained by East China University of Science and Technology and Loughborough University, UK, postdoctoral fellow at Waseda University, Japan, and postdoctoral fellow at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Member of the Japan Kansei Engineering Society and Jiangxi Arts and Crafts Society. Published over 20 high-level papers in SCI, SSCI, or A&HCI journals, including Advanced Engineering Informatics, Journal of Cleaner Production, Expert Systems with Applications, Journal of Engineering Design, and npj Heritage Science, which are ranked in the first and second quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' classification. Served as a guest editor for the SCI third quartile journal (JCR Q1) Biomimetics.

In recent years, I have presided over 2 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and completed 8 provincial and ministerial-level projects. I have been granted 7 national invention patents and 25 utility model patents. I have won first prize in the National Youth Designer Competition and other provincial and ministerial-level competitions. I have guided students to win more than 20 national and provincial-level awards.
