After received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Zhengzhou University in 2016, I transitioned to the simulations of biomedical magnesium alloys and obtained the PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Shaokang Guan in December 2021. During the doctoral studies, I underwent a year of joint training under the guide of Prof. Juewen Liu at the University of Waterloo in 2020, and investigated the microscopic recognition of nucleic acid aptamers with graphene oxide, gold, and plastics under various environmental conditions. In April 2022, I joined Prof. Chuan-liang Feng's group as an assistant researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, focusing on the chiral supramolecular assembly mechanisms of C2-symmetric systems and their chiral-specific interactions with functional proteins. In February 2025, I joined the group of Prof. E. W. Meijer at TU/e as a postdoc fellow, to explore the chiral assembly mechanisms of various supramolecular polymers and predict their assembled structures under different conditions by integrating computational simulations and machine learning techniques.
