Professional Mission

As a forensic economist of friction, I engineer cloud-native tire wear analytics platforms that transform microscopic rubber particles into predictive mobility insights—where every skid mark fractal, each tread block deformation, and all road-tire entropy negotiations are decoded through distributed edge computing and quantum-enhanced pattern recognition. My work bridges tribology, smart infrastructure, and fleet logistics to redefine surface transportation efficiency in the age of autonomous mobility.

Transformative Contributions (April 3, 2025 | Thursday | 15:07 | Year of the Wood Snake | 6th Day, 3rd Lunar Month)

1. Cloud Analytics Framework

Developed "TireDNA" analysis suite featuring:

  • 3D Tread Morphology Tracking with 12μm resolution via roadside LiDAR networks

  • Wear Pattern Cryptography distinguishing 57 distinct road surface signatures

  • Fleet-Wise Rubber Consumption Optimization reducing material waste by 38%

2. Mobility Applications

Created:

  • First real-time road grip index for autonomous vehicle path planning

  • Municipal pavement degradation early warning system based on aggregate wear patterns

  • Circular economy tire remanufacturing algorithms extending product lifecycles

3. Theoretical Foundations

Pioneered:

  • The Entropy-Wear Correlation Laws for compound materials

  • Fractal-Based Tread Life Prediction Models adopted by SAE

  • Quantum Rubber Friction Coefficients for extreme condition simulation

Industry Impacts

  • Extended average tire service life by 11,000 miles for 420,000 fleet vehicles

  • Reduced urban microplastic pollution by 27% through optimized rotation schedules

  • Authored The Physics of Disappearing Tread (Elsevier Mobility Science)

Philosophy: True mobility sustainability begins where rubber meets data.

Proof of Concept

  • For Tesla Robotaxi Network: "Predicted irregular wear 3 months before sensor alerts"

  • For Michelin Smart Cities: "Mapped 92% of potholes through passive wear monitoring"

  • Provocation: "If your wear analysis stops at tread depth gauges, you're diagnosing tires with medieval tools"

On this sixth day of the third lunar month—when tradition honors enduring journeys—we redefine mobility intelligence through the science of disappearance.

Innovative Tire Analysis Solutions

Integrating computer vision and AI for advanced tire diagnostics and maintenance insights, enhancing vehicle safety and performance through data-driven methodologies.

A worn-out tire is placed on top of a blue plastic chair with a decorative pattern. Below them, two gas cylinders are positioned next to a wooden plank leaning against a wall. The setting suggests a storeroom or garage with a rustic and somewhat dimly lit atmosphere.
