Research interests

Our group focuses on hydrogen energy equipment, advanced materials and processes, and intelligent manufacturing. We are interested in the intelligent design and manufacturing of high-performance materials, structures, and equipment, and especially their industrial application. Specific research domains include:

(1) Intelligent Design and Application of Hydrogen Energy Equipment

Focusing on water electrolysis for hydrogen production and hydrogen fuel cell devices, we integrate AI algorithms to conduct intelligent design of high-performance configurations, precision forming of core components, and system integration. We develop hydrogen-powered drones and promote their applications in emergency response, cargo transport, inspection, and related fields.

(2) Multi-functional Surface Materials

We focus on multifunctional composite surface materials with properties such as hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, high corrosion resistance, heat transfer, and stealth. Combining multi-scale material computation and AI algorithms, we design high-performance materials and structures, develop high-quality forming methods, and promote their application in energy, aviation, and other equipment.

(3) Intelligent Manufacturing

Focusing on typical industrial scenarios, we research advanced forming technologies, develop intelligent equipment and systems, and contribute to the advancement of intelligent manufacturing.
