Our biomimetic silk LSTM ’s structure was inspired by the herringbone structure of odonodactylus scyllarus and experiments had confirmed that silk fibers can be successfully “welded” into a whole structure using hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). Our study showed that the strategy of integrating textile processing and fiber “welding” can effectively improve the strength of the fabrics. Awarded Distinguished Project (Top 20%) at Zeallabs.

Developed a mobile application to streamline volunteer registration and volunteer-runner pairing for community events, reducing administrative work by 70% and increasing participation by 45%.
Led team designing food-safety sensor for blind. The study showed that the pH value gradually decreasesas with the degree of spoilage deepens. This sensor used this chemical law to design a portable representation device with sound release. The project earned CTB Top 10% recognition for innovation and community impact.
