About Me
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and guest researcher in the SIRIUS research center at the University of Oslo (2024-2025). I am also the INCOSE ASEP.
My research focuses on Cognitive Digital Thread (CDT) in Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), in particular with:
- Concept & Framework of CDT
- Ontology Design / Formalization of CDT
- Service-oriented tool-chain design for CDT
- Scenarios of CDT in MBSE development process
