Autobiography:
In 1978 . . . I accepted an entry-exemption offer from Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and chose to study theoretical mechanics. I obtained my BEng (1982) and MSc (1985) degrees at XJTU with top grades, and was recruited by the University as a lecturer in 1985. My research was on structure stability analysis. Between 1987-1990, I undertook my PhD study on blood flow in arteries while working as a lecturer. During this time, I also obtained funding from the World Bank and visited the UK for one year as part of the joint-training PhD program. I worked at the Department of Medical Physics & Clinical Engineering at the University of Sheffield. This visit provided an opportunity for me to carry out some experiments on fluid mechanics. I was also exposed to the surgeon's view of blood flow and circulation. Returned to XJTU in 1988, I continued my PhD study on numerical simulations of blood flow in stenotic arteries. In 1990, I successfully defended my Ph.D and graduated with Distinction, and was awarded the "Tang ZhaoQian Scholarship" by Xi'an Jiaotong University; the prize with a gold medal offered to the top PhD student of the year. I was promoted to associate Professor two years later. In 1992, I took up a post-doctorial research fellowship with Professor T J Pedley, FRS, at the University of Leeds, UK, and worked on fluid flow in collapsible tubes. Together we studied some interesting phenomena, such as flow limitation, and self-excited oscillations. A few years later, I became a lecturer at the Department of Engineering, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, and continued my research on collapsible tube flows. I moved to the University of Sheffield in 1990, and worked as a lecturer/SL at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I stayed at Sheffield for 5 years, and began to build up a team and widened my research interests to include heart valves, airways, and gallbladders. Presently I work at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Glasgow. I was promoted to Reader/Professor in 2006/2008. I have growing research interests on nonlinear mechanics of heart and soft tissues.
Research Interests:
Modeling and numerical simulation of fluids and structures, especially fluid-structure interaction in physiology. In particular self-excited oscillations in flexible vessels, multi-scale modeling of heart, dynamic and constitutive modeling of mitral valves, vocal folds vibration and snoring, bile flow and gallbladder pain mechanisms.
