I was born in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Structured Materials and Dynamics Lab, working at the interface of applied physics and mechanical engineering. Fascinated by the non-Hermitian physics, my current interests are primarily on the investigation of rich elastic wave dynamics triggered by the marriage of topological phase and non-Hermiticity.
My PhD research focused mainly on exploring unconventional control over elastic waves with both passive and active metamaterial structures.

Complex dispersion engineering via a series of nonlocal feed-forward control gives rise to rich non-reciprocal wave dynamics. This work is a contributin to a speical issue “Multifunctional composites for autonomic, adaptive and self-sustaining systems” in JCM.
We for the first time propose the concept of odd mass density with a class of active metamaterial enabled by feed-forward control. The resulting nonconservative force breaks the parity symmetry and leads to rich wave dynamics, including nonreciprocal wave coupling in 1D and directional wave amplification in 2D.
Realization of harmonic conversion with arbitrary conversion frequency, phase, and amplitude. Realization of frequency-converted wave steering and dynamic beam steering.
