Short Biography
I received my Ph.D. from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2013. My research primarily focuses on star sensor, digital image processing & pattern recognition, and embedded systems. I place strong emphasis on cultivating students’ integrated capabilities in machine vision—spanning fundamental principles, key technologies, and embedded system implementation.
I have published over 20 SCI-indexed papers in international and domestic journals, and have been granted multiple invention patents. I led one project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China; as a key contributor, I played a central role in the successful development of four types of star sensor products, whose core performance metrics surpass those of comparable international counterparts. Hundreds of these units have been successfully deployed and operated in orbit across more than 20 national aerospace missions, where they have delivered critical functionality and demonstrated high reliability.
My work has been recognized with the First Prize of the Ministry of Education’s Science and Technology Progress Award (2015) and the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (2016).
