Background

Before 2001, the research field focused on ocean engineering and fluid mechanism, and the results were published in Ocean Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, and Journal of Hydrodynamics et al. Current research interests are engaged in Mechano-Chemical regulation and their molecular structure basis in immune response and coagulation process. In 2016, an invited report was made at the 6th Sino-American Workshop on Biomedical Engineering and China-Oversea Joint Workshop on Biomechanics.
