I'm an undergraduate student at Zhejiang University and here is my CV.
Building upon experience in soft functional devices, I am now focused on the next challenge: robots integrating flexibility and rigidity.
I joined Professor Peng Zhao's lab in March 2024, where I assisted my senior in conducting experiments and analyzing data related to magnetron research. Throughout this process, the professor recognized my contributions and felt that I was ready to undertake independent work. Then I worked on a project related to the bending of magnetic cilia, which has been accepted by Advanced Materials Technologies.
During the past summer vacation, I participated in the University of Hong Kong's Summer Research Programme, working on a project to develop a self-adaptive gripper based on liquid crystal elastomer.
Now, I am actively applying for master programmes and seeking prospective PhD positions.
