I earned my Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from IEE, CAS in 2005. I have started my research work on applied superconductivity from Chinese Academy of Sciences as an associate professor.

Since 2008, I joined GE Healthcare for the development of next generation  MRI.  I joined GE Research Center (Niskayuna, NY) in 2014 to continue my research on electromagnetics and superconducting magnets.  I just joined Brookhaven National Lab in April 2023.

Expertise

  • Superconducting Magnets Design
  • Normal Magnets Design
  • Quench Protection Design
  • Electrical and Cryogenic Testing
  • Charged Particles Simulation

Research Activities

Before joing BNL, I mainly worked on 1.5T, 3T and 7T low cryogen superconducting MRI magnet design, simulation and final testing. I also worked on superconducting generator design and superconducting/ cryogenics test facility’s design recently.

In addition to superconducting magnet design, I also worked on electron beam simulation and normal bending/focus magnets design used for additive manufacturing and X-ray tubes.
