I am profoundly grateful and truly honored to have been elected as a Foreign Fellow (Academician) of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). This esteemed distinction reflects not just my personal efforts, but more importantly, the invaluable assistance and collaboration I have received from numerous colleagues, as well as my past and present PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. I wish to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to CAE colleagues and all those who have supported and contributed to my journey.
