She obtained a Bachelor degree from Northwest Polytechnical University in Xi’an CHINA before she moved to Germany to start a Master’s degree at the University of Stuttgart. After successfully completing her Master’s Degree, she continued her research as part of the International Female Program in the SynTrac CRC at the Institute of Aircraft Propulsion Systems at the University of Stuttgart. While her motivation to study abroad is fueled by a general curiosity to see the world, her decision to choose Germany as a destination has been deliberate. She has a high regard for the standard of education at German universities and appreciates the strong links between the research community and industry.

Steadily developing her research profile, she moved from studying heat transfer with numerical methods to exclusively experimental approaches, continuously expanding her understanding of the flow of particles. Her current project in SynTrac focuses on the rebound of particles in the environment of the turbomachinery of an aircraft.

“When looking at a particular research question, there are usually many factors at play and finding the ´one true signal´ or pattern that advances our understanding is one of the exciting aspects of my work.”
