Long Kai is an Associate Professor at the School of Renewable Energy, North China Electric Power University, and a 2022 Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA Champion. Having earned his Ph.D. from the Beijing Institute of Technology in 2007, he has long focused on theoretical methods in structural topology optimization and their engineering applications to lightweight wind turbine components. He has led numerous national and provincial natural science foundation projects, published over a hundred academic papers, and ranks among the top 1% of highly cited scholars on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). From analyzing heavy truck chassis in his early career to reshaping the structural framework of today’s 10,000-ton deep-sea offshore wind behemoths, Long has remained dedicated to grounding cutting-edge optimization algorithms in real-world industrial applications.
