Low-carbon ironmaking, from atoms to industrial reactors.
My research connects fundamental science with industrial practice to understand how reactions, materials and transport processes interact. We combine experiments, multiscale modeling and artificial intelligence to advance more efficient and lower-emission ironmaking.

I am a Full Professor at the School of Metallurgical and Ecological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). My academic journey began at USTB, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering in July 2012 and my Ph.D. in July 2017. During my doctoral studies, I had the privilege of conducting research at the University of Toronto, Canada, supported by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) (2015–2016).
I joined USTB as an Associate Professor in July 2017 and was promoted to Full Professor in July 2021.
I also serve as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy.
