Wuhan, Hubei, China
I operate at the intersection of advanced industry, scientific transformation, and long-term system change. I am the founder of Industrial Fusion Theory, defining the next industrial paradigm beyond digital transformation and AI: Bio-Digital-Physical Industry. Digital transformation connected industrial systems. AI made them cognitive. The next phase makes them adaptive, regenerative, and partially living. This is not a technology shift. It is a transformation of industrial ontology. Core contributions Industrial Fusion Theory Integration of: - biological systems (cells, enzymes, living processes) - digital cognition (AI, data, models, decision systems) - physical execution (machines, infrastructures) Biomanufacturing paradigm - cell becomes the factory - DNA becomes industrial code - production shifts from machining → growth Industrial strategy & decision systems AI-enabled decision architectures shift: optimization → learning → autonomy → adaptability Areas of work - Bio-Digital-Physical industrial systems - biomanufacturing & next-gen production - Industry 4.0 & digital transformation of manufacturing - AI-enabled industrial decision systems - circular & regenerative industry - integration of education–research–industry systems - large-scale complex systems & infrastructures Positioning Industrial innovator and specialist in complex systems & infrastructures, with extensive international academic and industrial experience and global networks across Europe, China, and beyond. Selected roles President, Global International Innovation Centres Founding President, NEU i.Gr. (Nexwave European University in foundation), operational from 2027 Research Professor (2017–2025), China Centre, University of Oxford (synthetic biology & biomanufacturing) Member, acatech (German National Academy of Science and Engineering) Multiple professorships & affiliations Work includes: - global keynotes - board-level strategic advisory - institutional design & program development Selective, system-level engagements. Statement I do not focus on improving existing systems. I define how the next industrial system operates. JOINCARE As CEO of Joincare, I´m building an open DESci incubation platform that enables a global community to discover, evaluate, and support early-stage biomedical projects. We focus on improving clarity and transparency while providing long-term support, helping promising biomedical innovations progress from discovery through incubation to deliver real-world impact.
Attached to the University of Oxford China Center, I will carry out academic research into biotechnologies - especially synthetic biology -, AI, Industry 4.0, and other next extensions of manufacturing
