Research Interests and Experience
My research has consistently focused on explosion mechanics. During my master's studies, I investigated excavation blasting in underground spaces and techniques for processing blast-induced vibration signals. I participated in tunnel excavation blasting projects on the Tonghua section of the Hegang-Dalian Expressway and the Fuxin section of the Beijing-Shenyang High-Speed Railway, gaining extensive on-site experience in blasting engineering. Using field vibration data, I conducted substantial research on the mechanisms of propagation and attenuation of blast-induced vibrations. During my doctoral studies, I investigated explosive welding and the dynamic mechanical response of metals at the mesoscopic and microscopic scales. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) General Program project "Mechanical Mechanisms of Mesoscopic Defect Formation at Explosive Welding Interfaces" (Grant No. 11672067; Principal Investigator: Xiaojie Li), I deepened my research expertise by examining the explosive welding characteristics of metal combinations such as titanium/steel and aluminum/magnesium, including under vacuum and inert-gas conditions. After entering professional employment, I expanded my research to meet evolving technological needs, investigating oxygen-enriched deflagration and hydrogen-oxygen detonation. These results have provided technical support for industrial production and the development of specialized military technologies. To date, I have published eight SCI-indexed journal papers and two EI-indexed journal papers as first or corresponding author. I have led one subproject under the National Key R&D Program, one Hubei Provincial Natural Science Foundation project, and three military-sponsored contract research projects. I have also received the Dalian Young Talent designation.
