• Synthesized and modified bio-based polymers for functional hybrid materials & 3D printing. • Explored structure-property relationships, such as using FTIR, NMR, XRD, rheology and microscopy. • Documented experimental results in technical reports and presented findings in team meetings and external collaborations. • Supervised student lab work. • Published 4 journal articles; presented at 2 international conferences (EPNOE 2023, 2024).

• Led a small, cross-functional team to organize and promote academic and cultural events. • Created bilingual digital content and fostered dialogue between international students, researchers, and the broader public.

• Analyzed and documented engineering changes across multi-national R&D teams using internal management tools and Excel pivot tables. • Conducted market research, regulatory trend analysis, and reporting on industry benchmarks. • Supported cross-border coordination between Chinese and German teams in English and German.

• Managed asset and financial data using SAP and Excel in a German-speaking environment. • Ensured data accuracy and timeliness for audits and internal controls.

• Dissertation: Surface-modified wood nanofibrils via radical polymerization for functional hybrid materials. Grade: magna cum laude (1.0). • Award: International Academy of Wood Science Award 2024.

• Thesis: cross-linking polyacrylates with cellulose nanofibrils. Grade: good (1.9). • Co-authored project report on cation-crosslinked biopolymers.

• Initiated research projects on innovative materials; co-authored a patent and a peer-reviewed journal article. • Thesis: Lignin-derived carbon fibers (Excellent Graduation Design 2017).
