Before joining Strathclyde, she pursued her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, with research efforts on innovatively modeling, solving dynamics and control problems in the highly nonlinear system with specification on contact binary asteroid systems. Afterward, she continued research as a postdoctoral researcher in Astronomy and Space Science of Nanjing University and Purple Moutain Observatory, where she started to investigate the effect of model uncertainties (e.g. gravity field, solar radiation pressure) on orbital propagation around asteroid and to model the influence of sublimations on the rotation status of a comet, respectively.

Currently, she is continuing the research about orbital dynamics and uncertainty analysis around small solar system bodies. Meanwhile, she is extending her fields to space debris removal and asteroid deflection, where similar methodologies can be shared with for addressing the new challenges. Promising disposal and deflection strategies are expected.

Expertise in modeling of mechanical and dynamical system; numerical and analytical skills of solving nonlinear dynamics; specialized in orbital dynamics around small solar system bodies and propagation of gravity uncertainty. In particular:

• irregular gravity modelling
• stability, frozen and periodic orbits
• resonance modeling and chaos estimation
• effects of solar radiation pressure on the long-term orbital evolution
• modeling and analysis of irregular gravity uncertainty with semi-analytical methods
• control and stabilization of unstable motion
