Short biography

I am an academic researcher. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University (China), I granted direct admission to Peking University to study cross-scale mechanics with Prof. Yueguang Wei. I was fascinated by how microstructures of advanced structural materials affect their macroscale mechanical properties. We tried to find out the microstructural mechanisms and develop cross-scale theoretical and computational models. Wishing to expand my research and apply the idea of multiple spatial and temporal scales to some biological problems, I joined Prof. Xi-Qiao Feng’s group at Tsinghua University as a postdoctoral researcher, where I revealed the viscoelasticity/viscosity effect on tissue growth, morphogenesis and cell motility. I am also interested in artificial intelligence (AI). I did some demos in computer vision during 2017 - 2020. My GitHub address is https://github.com/daniallin. And I did some initial studies on AI4Science.
