Creative thinker, quick learner, challenge accepter and object-oriented problem solver.

Enjoying teamwork in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment with efficient communication skills. 

Before joining Strathclyde, she pursued her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology, with research efforts on innovatively nonlinear dynamics modelling, solving dynamics and control problems in highly nonlinear systems with a focus on contact binary asteroid systems. Afterwards, she continued research as a postdoctoral researcher at Nanjing University and Purple Mountain Observatory, where she investigated the effect of model uncertainties (e.g. gravity field, solar radiation pressure) on the orbital propagation around asteroids and to model the influence of sublimations on the rotation status of a comet, respectively. Then, she was appointed to a lecturer position at the University of Strathclyde, where she continued the research about orbital dynamics and uncertainty analysis and applied it to space debris removal and asteroid deflection. She also started her new research branches in autonomous navigation, intelligent space robotic arm control and AI-based sensor fusion for in-orbit servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM). She is currently a member of the Astrodynamics Committee of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), representing the UK.

Expertise in modelling and solving of highly nonlinear dynamical system; specialized in autonomous navigation, her research interests include:

• irregular gravity modelling
• resonance dynamics and chaos estimation for space applications
• uncertainty quantification of orbital motion around Earth and asteroids for planetary defence
• autonomous optical navigation for asteroid missions and ISAM
• AI-based sensor fusion for space navigation and control
• Intelligent space robotic arm control for ISAM
