I defended my PhD thesis in April 2024, at the Division of Building Materials, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, with the thesis title of ''In-plane mechanical properties of birch plywood and its performance in adhesively bonded connections''. See my doctoral thesis (without the appended papers) in the link below:

Starting from July 2024, I continue working at KTH as a postdoctoral fellow, with an emphasis on the development of timber connection technologies as well as hybrid timber structures.

My previous and current research themes are:

-Timber-steel hybrid structures

-Mechancial properties of birch plywood

-Timber connections employing birch plywood as connection plate as a substitution to the steel plate

-Adhesive bonding performance between hybrid (softwood-hardwood) timber products

-Rope effect in mechanical connection 

-Ductility-related issues in timber connections

-Reinforcing timber in compression perpendicular to the grain by using glued-in wooden rods

I am also interested in some other topics, e.g., long-term loading, wood durability, wood modification, fracture mechanics, vibration, dynamic behaviors of timber structures, etc.

Moreover, I am keen to establish or be involved in national or international cooperation with both research institutes and industries. Please feel free to contact me should you have common interests.
