The main research directions include intelligent distributed fiber optic sensing technology and engineering applications, key technologies and application research of integrated intelligent network connection between heaven, earth and sea, covering intelligent monitoring in oil and gas pipeline networks, wind power grids, rail transit, bridges and tunnels, perimeter security, communication optical cables (operators), aviation and aerospace fields, and deploying applications in marine wind power, marine oil and gas exploration, marine geophysics, and military defense. Senior member of IEEE/OSA/SPIE, senior member of the Chinese Optical Society, member of the Optical Testing Committee/Fiber and Integrated Optics Committee, and member of the Fiber Sensing Technology Committee of the Chinese Optical Society. At present, more than 200 academic papers have been published in major international journals and conferences, including 183 SCI papers (Nat. Comm., Light Sci. Appl., Opto Electronic Advances, Laser Photon. Rev., PhotonIX, etc.), with 7835 citations and an H-factor of 48. The developed sensing system has been widely applied in various engineering fields (such as Shenzhen Gas, Hong Kong Metro, China Telecom, Southern Power Grid, and demonstration projects in the Qiongzhou Strait 500kV transmission cable), and its achievements have been repeatedly reported by mainstream media such as People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, China Science and Technology Industry, Shenzhen Business Daily, China Radio Greater Bay Area Voice, Voice of the Internet of Things, and Southern Innovation Center. I have delivered two keynote speeches and over 20 invited presentations at important international conferences such as IEEE ICCT, CLEO-PR, and APOS. I have also served as a TCP or organizing committee member for multiple international conferences, including ACP 2018/21/22, OECC 2021, OGC 2020-24, APOS 2018-24, and CLEO-PR 2018/20, and participated in organizing over 20 international conferences. Authorized over 20 invention patents and led and undertaken more than 20 scientific research projects, including the Ministry of Science and Technology's International Cooperation Special Project, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Sichuan Provincial High level Talent Introduction Fund, major projects of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, international cooperation projects of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, projects of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources, research start-up projects of the Shenzhen Municipal Government, and enterprise horizontal projects. Received the Australian Government's "Endeavor Scholar Award", "Zhan Tianyou Railway Technology Award Youth Award", Sichuan Province's "Outstanding Contribution Expert", selected for the Shenzhen Overseas High level Talent Introduction Plan (Class B), "Shenzhen Industrial Development and Innovation Talent Award", China Industry University Research Cooperation Promotion Award (Individual), and the Second Prize of China Optical Engineering Society's Technical Invention Award. In addition, it has been selected for five consecutive years in the "Top 2% of Global Scientists" list released by Stanford University in the United States, covering the "Lifetime Science Influence Ranking" and "Annual Science Influence Ranking".
