About me
Thinking more is the most important thing. At the same time, I hope that my research will become useful to the world one day. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching movies. I am also looking forward to vacationing with my wife and parents.
I graduated from Southeast University before I started my PhD studies at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in December 2022. I have started studying the mechanism of bond deterioration in reinforced concrete under corrosion. So far, I have completed two conference papers and have two journal papers related to my research pending.
Research interests
Usually, civil engineering is not a cutting-edge discipline, and the adoption of many new advanced technologies in civil engineering lags. My aim is to apply many of the techniques that have been developed in other disciplines to the field of civil engineering. For example, molecular dynamics and microphysical characterization methods. Concurrently, advancements in science and technology enable the exploration of concrete's mechanical properties and durability from various perspectives and scales. My interest lies in applying these methods comprehensively to analyze the bond deterioration mechanism of reinforced concrete under the influence of corrosion. This will enable better design of concrete structures and enhance their mechanical and durability properties.
My objectives are to
- Investigate the bond deterioration mechanisms of RC concrete under corrosion,
- Conduct the multiscale studies based on the above subject and
- Extend the application of molecular dynamics methods in civil engineering.
