Research Impact:

• Designed and demonstrated a novel redox flow battery: conduct conception, design, and experimental validation of a vanadium-chromium redox flow battery that balances high electrochemical performance with cost effectiveness. Strategically combining highvoltage vanadium highlighting and low-cost chromium chemistry to address the costperformance trade-off in aqueous redox flow battery systems.
• Achieved high power density and operational stability through system-level optimization: optimize the performance of the vanadium–chromium redox flow battery and achieve high peak power density which is comparable with aqueous existing redox flow battery systems.

Research Impact:

A novel high-performance photosensitive precursor that uniquely enables the fabrication of precision SiBCN ceramics was synthesized. By establishing a fundamental kinetic model, we reveal the diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism, providing critical theoretical guidance for polymer-derived ceramics. This has directly led to a key technological breakthrough: the creation of the smallest reported SiBCN microstructures (~700 nm). These durable, high temperature components demonstrate immediate potential as advanced microfabrication tools and open new pathways for applications in micro-optics and harsh-environment MEMS devices.

Research Impact:

Vibration control keeps bridges, machines, and vehicles safe and quiet. Real-world vibrations change with speed, load, and wear, making many fixed (passive) solutions too narrow, fragile, or ineffective. My research advances delayed resonators, an active solution driven by timedelayed control to adapt on the fly. I revealed surprising limits in classic designs, then built new control schemes that are more robust and cover wider frequency bands. I also proposed a unified design framework that handles both resonance and antiresonance, extended the theory to nonlinear fields, and merged smart control with mechanical design, thus delivering a more reliable vibration control solution.
