About me

Curious across
boundaries.

I care about rigorous experiments, useful models, and explanations that make complicated work feel clear.

Research is how I turn curiosity into something testable.

I am a materials researcher currently studying for an MPhil in Micro and Nanotechnology Enterprise at the University of Cambridge. I am happiest when a project lets me follow one question all the way from molecular design and synthesis to fabrication, characterisation, mechanism analysis, and a useful explanation.

My route into research began with polymer composites and interface engineering, then widened into computational modelling and machine-learning-assisted materials discovery. That mix matters to me: experiments build intuition, while computation helps test it at scales we cannot see directly.

Away from the lab, I travel with a camera. Photography gives me another reason to slow down, notice structure, and pay attention to the details that are easy to miss.

Research journey

Questions I’ve followed so far.

Each project added a new scale or tool, while keeping the same habit: connect what a material is made of with what it can do.

  1. 01

    Interface engineering of CF/PEEK laminates

    Research Assistant · Northwestern Polytechnical University

    Designed BPEN sizing agents and followed the work from synthesis and laminate fabrication through multiscale characterisation, mechanism analysis, publication, and patent development.

    • Molecular design
    • Polymer synthesis
    • Hot pressing
    • Multiscale characterisation
  2. 02

    High-performance PBO composite papers

    Research Assistant · Northwestern Polytechnical University

    Built ZnO-coated PBO nanofibre papers and investigated how their structure shaped wave transmission, ultraviolet resistance, and mechanical performance.

    • Nanofibre processing
    • In-situ growth
    • Dielectric testing
    • Parametric modelling
  3. 03

    New materials discovery with machine learning
