I joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty in December 2016 as an assistant Professor in the disciplinary field of naval architecture and marine engineering. I was an invited assistant professor in Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC), Instituto Superior Técnico. I received BS from Tianjin University, MS and PhD from Instituto Superior Técnico, all of them in naval architecture and marine engineering. I was funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology through a doctoral fellowship and awarded by Chinese government for outstanding self-financed students abroad. My research interests cover the prediction of slamming loads, hydro-elastic response of ship structures subjected to wave-induced loads, ship structure vibrations and mooring system analysis. I am giving classes on ship vibrations and started giving the course on the mooring system of ocean floating structure for the master students.
