Open Science

My GitHub profile provides open research resources:

  • Paper-associated repositories: ABAQUS input files, Fortran UMAT subroutines and practical run instructions for reproducing representative numerical results.
  • FEM coding tutorials: Stepwise development of finite-element implementations through worked Fortran examples, from basis functions and numerical integration to 2D/3D linear and nonlinear formulations.

Together, these resources support verification, reuse and accessible FEM skills development within the computational-mechanics community.

Supervising and Mentoring

  • Co-supervised undergraduate thesis: Lin Su, Numerical Algorithms for Growth and Morphology Control of Soft Materials, with Yangkun Du of Zhejiang University from 11/2025 to 06/2026.

Academic Service

  • Peer review: Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica.
  • Professional membership: Member of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics; Representative member of the Guangdong Society of Mechanics.
