Journey

Journey

My path never followed a pre-planned route. From renewable-energy systems modelling, to materials and machine learning, to today's AI for Science, research platforms, and AI products — what I increasingly know about myself is that I love understanding complex problems, building models, and then making the system with my own hands.

How I read my own journey

01

Willing to enter new fields

I will enter a new field and try to genuinely understand its basic problems.

02

Long-term questions over labels

Rather than being defined by a single disciplinary tag, I care about the questions I keep working on.

03

A continuous path

Research, engineering, and products are one continuous growth path to me.

04

Fast learning, hands-on building

I want to keep the ability to learn fast and build things with my own hands.

2022 – 2026 timeline

A path from energy systems modelling to AI for Science, stressing the continuity of "problem – method – system", with school names not as the narrative axis.

2022.11 – 2025.09

Renewable-energy systems modelling

Started research on electrolyser-array optimisation for hydrogen production: an electro-thermal coupled model, scheduling optimisation, and a control interface in Python.

Representative results: led a national-level undergraduate innovation project; Cup-AWE V1.0 software copyright.

2023 – 2025

Research training & competitions

Competed in national-level competitions around low-carbon technology, CCUS, and energy saving, while steadily strengthening computational modelling, data analysis, and research communication.

Representative results: three National Scholarships for undergraduates (three consecutive years, ranked first in major); multiple national-level competition awards.

2025.12 – Present

AI for Science · D–A photocatalysis

Research focus shifted to molecular machine learning and quantum chemistry: a tiered PM6 → DFT → TDDFT/Multiwfn computation pipeline and an AI screening workflow.

Representative results: ~26K molecular-scale data production / screening pipeline; best held-out test MAE 0.0702 eV.

2026.05 – Present

NanoPUF · materials × chips × AI

Built a chip-surface physical-fingerprint verification workflow from BCP self-assembly random nanopatterns and SEM images.

Representative results: 126 SEM images; AUC 0.977; NanoPUF Research Platform.

2026

Platformising research

Continued turning research processes into products: ExcitationNexus and the NanoPUF Research Platform, stressing data, computation, models, audit, and result tracking.

Representative results: from offline model experiments to reusable research workflows.

2026

AI product practice

Advanced the Yuanju AI short-video mini program and ViolinSense AI (AI music × violin practice) prototypes.

Representative results: cloud Alpha and prototype validation; continued exploration of agent workflows and real usage scenarios.

2026.08 – Present

Shanghai · AI for Science

Continuing AI for Science research at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering: molecular machine learning, quantum chemistry, research agents, and interdisciplinary problems.

Representative results: research, engineering, and product lines running in parallel.
