Interview with Han Liu

Although I am focusing on my PhD research in the engineering area, becoming a combination designer is still my unchangeable dream.

I choose to become a designer.

Industrial product and visual design are my areas. I am always focusing on combination designs.

Keep learning and do not give up ever.

Well, a good designer could provide a satisfying design for their clients. But a great designer could make their clients following the designer’s method.

The combination of aesthetics and functions could be a practical approach to evaluate a design.

Good designs change your lifestyle and bring a positive effect on the mood to us.

I prefer the new-tech engineering product such as turbo engine of transportation, which is related to my current PhD research.

Space transportation product.

Based on my PhD research, the new design method is the unique approach of combination.

Antoni Gaudí

My favourite designs are Chinese antiques designed and made by artists thousands of years ago.

The new generation turbo engine product, TREx. In this project, the fluid dynamics and mathematic were utilized in the profile design and so on.

I always trying to rich the integration of knowledge, keep the perseverance to success, perseverance, and determinate to face and overcome difficulties.

I think maybe I am learning how to become a designer.

Design is an irreplaceable approach to improve the quality of lifestyle. It drives people to a place where we can enjoy the combination of art and science.

My teachers and supervisors.

I think the more significant points are: the integration of knowledge, the courage to cross boundaries, the perseverance to success, perseverance, and determination to face and overcome difficulties.

The design logic and research ability.

The reasonable combination of science and art could be considered more during the whole design process.

A new micro engine used in UAV.

To make every little piece of our life interesting.

A new possibility to find new happiness.

For me, design makes a positive atmosphere for society, bring healthy and optimistic waves to people, and discover more possibilities for the future.

I am focusing on my PhD research nowadays.

The TREx. Because the new environment-friendly turbo engine opened my mind of design methods.

I hope there will be more outstanding combination design methods are used in product design.

Multicultural integration, multidisciplinary integration, and multidimensional development will be conjectures for future design. I think that more design fields, such as those related to animal psychological research, maybe endless.

Generally, from 3 months to 1 year.

Next year and I plan to start it in the UK.

Special but nice.

I always try to find a bridge between beauty and technology.

The tools include some computer aid design, like UG NX, Metlab, Photoshop, and ANSYS.

The role of the colour, materials and ambient in a design should relate to the function and the customer.

My combination methods.

It was 2018 and I saw the new environment-friendly engine product from The University of Birmingham in the UK.

Co-design is the best way in the future product and art design.

The supervisor of my PhD research.

The Science of Art

To develop my skills, I try to take part in science and art research projects.

I want to meet professor Martin Kemp and talk about the science of art with him.

The first prize made my day. But the awards bring me new challenges too.

White is my favourite colour. I love Florence best. Chinese food is my taste. I like the summer and autumn.

A research about the relationship between calculus and art.

Art makes my day, always.

No, I do not think so.

I think more and more trends will be produced. There is one thing I can see, which is people can not live without design. Design is a sort of art and designer could not be replaced by the computer, even AI.

No thanks.

Birmingham High Performance Turbomachinery Limited is a high-tech headquartered in the UK. Its business focus has shifted to the development of new high-performance turbo extended range engine, turbocharger, micro engines, air bearing, and related products.

Design is an irreplaceable approach to improve the quality of lifestyle. It drives people to a place where we can enjoy the combination of art and science.

Be honest, industrial products and visual arts are my favorites.

The Mortise and tenon structure.

It was the profile of a new electric car, 10 years ago.

Ceramics is my favorite. I like natural materials such as wood and pottery clay, but scientific methods and technology bridge art and academics very well.

Morning, between 7 to 11 am.

The combination area between art and science, which is a part of my Ph.D. research too.

When I design, I think I will become a person who has rigorous, logic, and divergent thinking.

I always want to find a possibility for optimizing after my designs are realized.

I think the more significant points are: the integration of knowledge, the courage to cross boundaries, the perseverance to success, perseverance, and determination to face and overcome difficulties.

The idea and the soul.

For me, designers should make a positive atmosphere for society, bring healthy and optimistic waves to people, and discover more possibilities for the future.

Multicultural integration, multidisciplinary integration, and multidimensional development will be conjectures for future design. I think that more design fields, such as those related to animal psychological research, maybe endless.

The recent exhibition where my design could be found is in ‘The 2019 San Jose International Digital Design’. I wish I could hold an exhibition later this year. It is time to represent more related information, share more experiences and contributions from my research.

Combination thoughts, especially the possibility of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary integration.

My design style is combined. My current research aimed at the approach of how could we improve our design with mathematics and Computational Fluid Dynamics. My target is to find out a new method for design via science rules such as B-Spline functions.

Now I live in the UK. After moving here, my views on design have changed a lot. I have been influenced by culture and education. In particular, the local people's pursuit of science and rigorous attitudes have made my design style more academic and feasible.

Finishing every task step by step together, with good communication and a positive mood.

Before teamwork, companies and firms need to choose their co-designer very carefully. However, it will not help if companies pushing too much on designers during the cooperation process.

First, I will talk about the case or the task more details with my clients.
Second, I prefer to learn relevant knowledge and academic background from papers or other publishings.
Third, I will make some drafts based on the main request.
Fourth, it is time to contact the companies between discussing and optimizing.
Fifth, I will put more details and finish the task.

My brush washer for Chinese painting, my seal-ink box, my handmade cup for drinking, the water system of my house, and my iPhone SE.

The day when I finish my research and create a new design method in the future, I plan to celebrate it with the start of a new research program.

A lone tree could not become a forest.

Being a designer is my dream work, so it may be not easy for me to explain the negatives of that. But as I know, most of the designers have a very rich imagination, an optimistic attitude towards life, high aesthetic standards, and an open mind.

It consists of 40% art and 60% science.

Personally, the research ability and open-minded.

The tools include some computer aid design, like UG NX, Metlab, Photoshop, and ANSYS. Also some knowledge resources such as academic publishing and laboratory contributions.

A reasonable schedule and project program could lead me to avoid vital risks. Also, it will save time if the right people focusing on the right things.

It depends, industrial products spend more time than others for me.

‘What can I do for your products in differentiated competition?’

The redesign of a new turbocharged engine which it had been finished earlier last year for UK Innovation in England.

Generally, national organizations and industrial firms are my potential clients.

Visual design and product design are my interests. I am so keen on combining art and science via design, contributing to a new visual and user experience.

In the next step, I plan to reinforce my research method and find more possibilities for its utilization. For example, figure out how can I improve product design with my design method and guide future creations.

In the group from the academic institute, I am one of a team. However, as a Ph.D. candidate, I have to develop more new findings and creations by myself during the combination research program.

Recently, I am focusing on a UAV product design. This task includes studying the beauty of continuity, including G2, G3, and higher-order continuity. Good design should both reflect a part of the world truly or extractives, but also include some elements of beauty to rise above our world. B-Splines can provide continuity elements conveniently.
