Lecturer and Master's Supervisor. Research interests include seismic resistance, vibration reduction, and seismic isolation of engineering structures. Hosted one project under the National Natural Science Foundation of China, two projects under the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangxi Province, one open research fund project from the Key Laboratory of Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Structures of the Ministry of Education at Southeast University, and one youth talent cultivation and innovation fund project from Nanchang University. Published seven SCI-indexed papers as the first author, obtained one authorized patent as the first inventor, and registered four software copyrights as the first copyright holder. Supervised five master's students and guided twelve undergraduate students in their graduation projects.
